Stoddard County Missouri Genealogy Society

The Stoddard County Genealogy Society was organized in 1979 by a small group of dedicated genealogists whose intent was to establish a non-profit, educational organization to aid people in the search for their family history.

The purpose of this organization is to encourage the science of genealogy, to promote education, to gather genealogical information, to preserve and publish materials of historical and genealogical nature, and to promote interest in the preservation of genealogical records in Stoddard County, Missouri.

The Society is currently working with a publishing partner, Acclaim Press, to produce a book, this is our Stoddard County Family History Book Project. Here is a link to a pdf version of the brochure. The materials are currently ready for design. After the proofs have been created and returned, they will be reviewed. After the proofs have been reviewed and possibly corrected, the book index will be created. From that point it should take 5-6 weeks to produce the book. Although we were hopeful the book would be ready by Christmas 2009, at this point it just isn't possible to make that deadline. We are now looking at possibly the first quarter of 2010. Keep your fingers crossed, as an awful lot can go wrong, but with luck the books could become available sometime between January and March 2010.

The Society publishes a quarterly newsletter with issues in the spring, summer, fall and winter. The newsletter covers the area of Stoddard County, with stories and names of early settlers. As a member your name and the surnames you are researching are published.

Queries, not to exceed 65 words, are free to members. More than one query may be submitted at a time and will be printed as space allows.

The newsletter was published by member LeAnn Kelley for many years. The society expresses appreciation for her many years of dedication to publishing a high-quality newsletter. If you wish to make a submission to the newsletter, please send it to e-mail address scgsnewsletter@yahoo.com

You as a member are welcome to submit articles for consideration, to be published relating to Stoddard County.
