What Treasures Lie Within?
We call it "The Treasury" because of all the valuable items, valuable information that lie within. This is the Research Page and all the Research links we can muster. We have helpful files for download, a history of Howard County as well as our Society, Helpful Links scoured up and saved by our Education Chairman, our newsletters chock full of information, stories, presentations and their associated handouts (As much as the presenters would allow!), Documents, Articles, Genealogical Templates. These are the things you come here for.
Visit The Podium and see new stories, read the notes from The President's Corner, read the member articles and family stories. See what efforts your genealogy brothers and sisters are making so that Howard County is a better, more enjoyable place for you to practice your craft of family history.
It's all here in The Treasury. So, explore. Discover. Take your pick. Download what you need. Keep the treasures you download. And welcome to The Treasury.
Either take a look at the dropdown menu under "The Treasury" on the Menu Bar above, or click one of the buttons next to the listings below.
The Podium is a Blog-Format presentation area used for articles, presentations, speeches, readings and more. The President's Corner is hosted here. If you want something posted here, CONTACT the WebMaster.
Remember those good liks to other Research Sites that you forgot to write down, or the ones you did write down, but lost the slip of paper? All is not lost, There are a number of very good, very helpful, very useful links here. And the one you are looking for just might be in here!
Can be external news articles appearing in periodicals, print, genealogical sites, sister organizations, and more. May be professional articles or member submissions, or news items spawned by our own editors. They are all for your edification and enjoyment.
A number of Church Records have been entrusted to the Society for safekeeping and member use. These include Marriage Records as well as Baptismal Records. A third group is a Cemetery Index. As we are entrusted with more such records, we will clean them up, vet them, and make them available here.
There is a lot of history, knowledge, technique, information and research packed into the old Newsletters of the Howard County Genealogical Society. This is the Archive and, while the are not yet available with tags and indexing, they are valuable reading with each one bieng its own learning experience. Read and enjoy.
This is both a Library Catalog and Bibliography. We may not have all these book and periodicals available or in print or know where they are, but we have seen them, they have been recommended to us, we have used them, and we thought them valuable for research, detail, and knowledge. Take a look though here. Maybe you will find them useful, too. And if you have your own recommendations, CONTACT us and let us know.
Over the years, our Education Chairman has gone to great lengths to find, test and present informational sources and resources for our benefit. For years, these were presented at meetings and often stored in the old website. We are combining these now, here, for your benefit. Many of these are new links to new educational information. Don't miss out - find out what's new and what's going on in genealogy!
If you need a file, an article, a template, a reference, a news piece look inside here. It might just be there, especially if it were offered by a previous speaker or presenter, or added to the library based on a member's recommendation. If you don't find what you need, CONTACT us - We may be able to help!
After all of the above, you have questions, you didn't find what you need? If you do hav questions, or if you do think we might still be able to help, or you do still want to contact us, click the CONTACT button. We'll see what we can do! No promises - it's genealogy, after all! But we'll try!
