Outreach: Information table at Family History Day at the Buffalo & Erie County Library, AOA Elder Resource Fair and SNI Fall Festival.

Our presentations, events etc. could not be possible without the dedication and hard work of people who prepare for the gatherings and the people who attend. We appreciate you all!
The Iroquois Genealogy Society is coming into our 10th year!! It’s hard to believe! We feel it’s very important to learn about your family history by creating a family tree, researching your relatives and finding new ones through records available on our website and attending our monthly meetings. Our families’ accomplishments, hardships and love can bring a feeling of pride, belonging and appreciation for them. Never forget your ancestors!
Please check out our website: www.iroquoisgenealogysociety.org. There are many resources available on the website such as census records, church and school lists etc.
At our Holiday luncheon, we elected the 2025 IGS Officers as follows: President-Leatha Jimerson, VP/Secretary-Marilyn Anderson, Treasurer-Teresa VanAernum
Our first meeting for 2025 will be on Thursday, March 13th. Anyone interested and willing to present their family history, please contact one of the officers. We would be so happy to hear your story!
