OUR HISTORY

Welcome to the newly formed Green County (Wisconsin) Genealogical Society. Our first meeting was held on April 7th, 2001 with twenty-five persons attending.

Meetings are held the first Saturday of the month at 10:00 a.m. from September thru May on the upper level of the Monroe Public Library (925 - 16th Ave., Monroe, WI.).
