Welcome to the MCCOGS Website!
The Montgomery County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society website is designed to allow our members to engage with each other as they trace their ancestors, find information to enter in their family trees (RootsMagic, Legacy Family Tree, FamilySearch.org, Ancestry etc.), and discover their family histories. We want to make this site a dynamic experience where members can share with and learn from one another. Here are just a few ways to engage on this site today:
President's Message
These are difficult times for all of us. The Montgomery County Chapter of OGS’s Executive Board made the decision that it was in the best interest of our members to cancel our General Meeting on March 14th. This was based upon the guidance presented by state authorities. Notification of the cancellation was sent via email to all of our members.
Since then, the Dayton Metro Library has closed the library to all group programs until April 15th. That means our Executive Board Meeting scheduled for April 6th and our General Meeting scheduled for April 11th are also cancelled.
It is our hope that we will be able to reschedule both Amie Bowser Tennant’s talk on Genealogist Turns Private Eye: Tips for Finding Living Relatives and Angie Hoschouer’s talk on Revolutionary Soldiers in Woodland Cemetery, either later this year or next year. The bonus meeting regarding Cleaning Tombstones by Carole Medlar and Ken Binzer will be held once we are able to resume meetings. Our Program Committee has been in the process of arranging some field trips for our group. Those will be put on hold at this time.
The following is a list of genealogy meetings or events that have been either cancelled or postponed. As we become aware of others, we will add them to the list.
It is my hope and prayer that all of you and your families are safe. And, if we have to stay home, we might as well work on our genealogy!
Best Regards,
Terry Anne Nicholson, President
