Generations is the
outstanding newsletter published by the Calhoun County Genealogical
Society. It is published six times per year, and is one of the
membership benefits.
An every name
index for newsletters published
between 1988 and 1995 is available on line. Plans are underway to update this index
in the near future. Newly added to this website are
images for nearly every issue
published between 1988 and 2008. |
The Calhoun County
Genealogical Society was established in 1988 with four
specific goals in mind:
To gather and
preserve information of genealogical value
To encourage
the deposit of such information in suitable
depositories
To aid
genealogists in the study of family history
through the exchange of knowledge
To publish and
promote Calhoun county and other genealogical materials
