As is our tradition, the KVGS membership will take a brief summer break from its monthly meetings until September. Please plan to join us for our next general meeting at the Portage District Library (300 Library Lane, Portage, MI) or via Zoom on Monday, September 21, at 7 pm. All are welcome!

 

Immediately following a brief business meeting, we will enjoy a sure-to-be-interesting presentation. Come early to the library for a cookie, to catch up with old friends, and to make new ones. Refreshments will be available at 6:30 pm.

 

 

 

 

Before then, please join us for some all-around fun at 6:30 pm on Monday, August 17, at Portage District Library for

Coming in the fall, KVGS will continue to offer monthly "Drop-in Genealogy Help" sessions, beginning September 24. Come to the Portage District Library's Heritage Room, between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm, on Thursdays following our general meetings. Drop by the library and see how another perspective can help. You do not need to be a member to participate.

 

In the meantime, be sure to check the RESEARCH TRIPS section in the left column of the home page for information about the 2026 Independent Research Trip to Washington, D.C., from Sunday, September 13, through Saturday, September 19.
