On April 2, 2012, the National Archives (NARA) released the 1940 Federal Census as digital images. If you would like to help create an index that will be available for free to the public, our society is participating in the indexing effort by FamilySearch.org. If you are interested in helping, please contact Rick Young.

In June 2010, the Society working together with Acclaim Press completed the family history book, a project that took 2 and 1/2 years.
As of Feb. 1, 2012, we still have some books available for sale at the price of $55 each. If you want the book mailed to you, include additional $ for USPS priority mail rate.

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, contact info, and the surnames you are researching are published.
