Janine - I think the organization has already collapsed. I live in Columbus, Ohio and just found the information mentioned on Everton's newsletter. Does anyone know if there is another genealogy society in Jackson County for others to join?

How sad that such a fine organization is closing. I attended a meeting many, many years ago in Independence. Now that I am actively researching several branches of my family I realize how important these organizations are. I encourage everyone to join the organizations in the areas in which you are researching. Even if you cannot attend local meetings your support is important to keeping these societies going. > > > > Genealogy Society in Missouri Closes With a Thank You > > > The Heart of America Genealogical Society of Kansas City, Missouri will be closing as of 30 June 2004.
