WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
The Monroe Juneau Jackson Genealogical Workshop, Inc was formed in 1983 to provide an association of those interested in genealogy; to collect and when practicable, to publish genealogical, biographical, and historical material relating to said tri-counties families and their forebears; to foster and increase interest in genealogy; to encourage genealogical departments in libraries in the said tri-counties in co-operation with any other organization, agency or municipality.
MJJGW members help to assist researchers working on their family history in the tri-county area through our Newsletter, e-mail, or regular mail. We also help to preserve and publish local records and to conduct workshops from time to time in both genealogical research and the preservation of genealogical records.
You do not have to reside in the tri-county area to be a member of MJJGW. Anyone with an interest in their family history is invited to join and come to our meetings. We are a tri-county club but do not have access to research materials for Jackson and Juneau Counties. People should contact that area directly.
