Becky, I don't believe either the Sallisaw or Muldrow societies are presently active. But do contact the 'Muldrow library'. They may be able to tell you where you can purchase the books that the Muldrow society published. Good luck, Sandy Miller

So far I am told that about a year ago the Muldrow Genealogical Society said that there was no more Sequoyah Co. Genealogical Society. (Thanks for the response, Freddie!) I will keep the list posted as to my success in contacting any societies. Becky

Good question¸ Becky. Please post answers to the board as I too am interested in the information responses would provide. ~Susan -----Original Message----- From: Becky Selva [mailto:theselvas@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 10:45 AM To: OKSEQUOY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OKSequoy] Genealogical Societies I am interested in joining / purchasing materials from any genealogical societies for the Sequoyah Co. area.
