The River Raisin Chapter of the MISSAR was charted on December 4, 1999, and for the past seventeen year we have been gathering in Adrian Michigan four times a year to share our SAR programs and fellowship. The chapter was named after the River Raisin, which flows in and out of Lenawee county where we meet. The chapter serves greater Lenawee County and Jackson County. Currently, the River Raisin Chapter has 22 members. We usually hold our general membership meetings in February, April, July, and November, depending on the availability of our meeting room. Our meetings are usually on Thursday evenings when we have dinner and at general membership meetings, usually feature a guest speaker. All members and guests are welcome to all River Raisin Chapter meetings. The River Raisin Chapter has a great spirit of fellowship and there are many opportunities to participate in any of our programs, and leadership development is encouraged. Our members participate at the local, state, and national levels of the SAR. http://missar.org/riverraisin.html View full record

The Southern Oregon Historical Society is committed to preserving the rich heritage of this seven-county region, spanning from Curry County, which touches the Pacific Ocean, to Malheur County, which borders Idaho. Our exceptional collections tell stories about early settlers and their encounters with the Native people who populated the area; railroads and the commerce they brought with them; the pear orchard industry that still lays claim to being the area's biggest business; the more recent evolution of wineries; and the personal stories of the thousands of people who call this region home. The Society has undergone great change over the past 5 years - becoming more modern in our ambitions. The Society currently operates the historic Hanley Farm near Central Point and the Research Library in downtown Medford. http://www.sohs.org/ 106 N.

The Jackson County Historical Society was founded April 25, 1903 when prominent citizens in the county met in Maquoketa. They were soon joined by W.C. Swigart and James W. Ellis. Swigart was a newspaper publisher at the time, while Ellis was an insurance broker and avid local historian who wrote the Annals of Jackson County, a two volume 1910 History of Jackson County. "Re-invented" in 1964, the Historical Society was spearheaded by people such as Paul Jr. Papke, Lucille Sorensen, Grace Holihan, Clarence Kindred, Howard Tabor, Charles Butterworth, Judy Carlson, H.D. Keeley, Leroy Hepker, Mary Hoerner, J.W. Brady Jr, Peter Schroeder, Charles Bevan, Mary Elda Schreiber, George Kingsley, and Robert Manley. The Society struggled until Jackson County millionaire businessman Allison Pearson passed away in 1966 leaving almost a million dollars to improve the quality of life for those in Jackson County. Due to Allie Pearson's intense interest in history, the executors of his estate felt that the Jackson County Historical Society was the perfect fit. Judge Arthur Janssen was chosen to spearhead the erection of the Pearson Memorial Center on the Fairgrounds to house the Historical Society and the Fair Association. Having at last found a home, the Jackson County History Museum has become one the country's finest. http://www.jciahs.com/ Jackson County Historical Society PO Box 1245 Maquoketa, IA 52060 Phone: 563-652-5020 Fax: 563-652-5020 Email: museum@jciahs.com View full record

The Union Cemetery Historical Society (UCHS) was organized in 1984 under the guidance of the Kansas City, Missouri Parks and Recreation Department. Its original purpose was to collect data about historic Union Cemetery and to gather biographical information about the people buried here. As a result of those efforts, the UCHS published “Tombstone Inscriptions” in 1986, a hard-bound book that lists many of those who rest in the cemetery. The UCHS also published a series of 10 pamphlets containing collections of obituaries and biographical sketches gathered mostly from microfilm copies of old newspapers. In some cases these death notices and/or obituaries are the only records we have of individuals buried in Union Cemetery. The files in the Sexton’s cottage provide access to the cemetery burials. They contain a wealth of genealogical and biographical information collected my members of the UCHS and/or donated by visitors. The society’s mission has expanded over the years to include partnering with the KCMO Parks and Recreation Department to preserve and protect Union Cemetery’s grounds as well as its records. To this end the UCHS has overseen tree planting, headstone restoration and re-setting and fund raising to enhance the beauty and security of the cemetery. The society also provides guided and self-guided tours of the cemetery as well as speakers for civic and other organizations in the Kansas City area. http://www.uchskc.or...-union-cemetery If you have a genealogy question, would like to know Sexton cottage hours of operation, become a member of the UCHS, or to volunteer to help the UCHS in its mission to preserve and protect Union Cemetery for future generations, please call 816-472-4990.

The town of New Santa Fe (or Little Santa Fe, as some call it) stood at the junction of the Santa Fe Trail and State Line Road, now southwest Kansas City. The little village had great historical significance in the development of western commerce in the 19th century. New Santa Fe was a little post village situated on the west line of Missouri, about midway in Washington Township. The village developed about the farm of John Bartleston, who erected a cabin in the forest along the Santa Fe Trail in 1833 and subsisted on hominy and potatoes. Within a few years, a community known as Little Santa Fe developed. Wagon caravans laden with merchandise for the Mexican and California trade paused here before pushing westward. In 1851, Little Santa Fe was incorporated as New Santa Fe. About this time the village's troubles began. Located on the line between a free and a slave State, it suffered from the Border War of 1855-60, the Civil War, and the depredations of the bands of outlaws who came after the war. Finally, the isolation of the village from the railroad reduced it to little more than an historic site.

You may be missing out on some terrific genealogy resources and services right in your own back yard, so to speak, so listen up! For many years, the Johnson County Library (JCL) and the Johnson County Genealogical Society (JCGS) have had a close, supportive relationship. The library maintains a mid-size genealogy collection, including items owned by the library as well as items owned by JCGS, all housed side-by-side on library shelving in the west-central area of the Central Resource Library (CRL). The focus of the collection is on Kansas and Missouri, plus on areas from which our ancestors came into Kansas and Missouri. Those include: the New England states, the Mid-Atlantic states, the Ohio Valley, the southeastern states, and the Midwest. Such items may include family histories (donated), passenger lists (Germans to America, Italians to America, etc.), county histories, indexes to vital records, some DAR materials, etc.. Items are generally arranged by state, and may include various county resources that may have been purchased or donated. Donations from individuals have certainly added some valuable resources to the department. http://jcgsks.org/ Meetings are held at 10:00 a.m. on the 4th Saturday of each month except October and December. 2015 brings a big change to our ususal meeting space due to remodeling at the library. The monthly meetings will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 7100 Hadley Overland Park, KS (about one block east of Antioch on 71st St.) Mailing Address Johnson County Genealogical Society and Library, Inc.
