Moving Forward in 2025!
2024 was an eventful year for the Idaho Genealogical Society, and we hope you have enjoyed the addition of informative programs at monthly meetings as well as the return of the Society's Annual Meeting (with three great presentations). More great things are in store in 2025.
Genealogical Help Sessions are new this year. We are holding one on April 12 and will do it again in November if the April session is a success. We thought this might be a way we could help with "brick walls" you're hitting your head against as you try to fill out your pedigree chart and/or Family Group Sheet. Send us your questions in advance and we'll try to solve them and report our progress in the April 12 meeting. Click the Details button under Monthly Meetings for more information.
Newly added - Exchanges with local and other States' Genealogical Societies. We offer copies of our Newsletters to them in exchange for copies of their newsletters to share with our members. Check out the new Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society Newsletters Page in the Members Only section.
If you have friends or family who have an interest in genealogy, we encourage you to invite them to join us in 2025. You'll find the current application form on the Join Us page.
