Just the Facts, Ma'am!

Cedar County Probate Records Workshop

Cedar County Courthouse, Stockton, Missouri

Thursdays, 10 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

This is a workshop to prepare the Cedar County Probate Records to be microfilmed and indexed.  Presently, the work includes opening, cleaning, and flattening documents and placing them in folders and labeling the folders.  If you live in this area and can help, please come to the Cedar County Courthouse on a Thursday and you will be shown the "how to's."  The more help we get with this project, the sooner these records and the index will be available to researchers! 

     The Vernon County Genealogical Society first organized in 1982.  Several years later the organization expanded its membership and geographic area to also include Cedar and St. Clair Counties, and the name was changed to Tri-County Genealogical Society (Vernon-Cedar-St. Clair).  The Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations to the Society are tax exempt.

     The Society promotes genealogy research and is active in several projects.  The Society's main genealogy research collection is housed in the Genealogy Department of the Nevada Public Library where it is available, without charge, to researchers during all hours that the Public Library is open.

     The Tri-County Genealogical Society meets on the second Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. with a business meeting followed by a program pertaining to some aspect of genealogy or history.  Meetings are alternately held at:

-- Nevada Public Library Meeting Room, 212 W. Walnut St, Nevada, MO.

-- Church of Christ Fellowship Hall, 302 E. Hospital Rd, El Dorado Springs, MO.

     Visitors are welcome to attend all meetings, and membership in the Society is open to anyone interested in family or historical research.  A newsletter is printed monthly.
