The society has an informal meeting in alternate months at the same time and place, unless otherwise announced. Alternate month meetings often feature specific surnames, and we encourage people to suggest surnames for future meetings. Visitors are always welcomed to bring their questions, and work with more experienced genealogists at the meetings. Many books have been published by the society and its members. We welcome photocopies of original records from the Cape Girardeau County area, such as Bibles, diaries, account books, and church, cemetery, and military records.
Queries are free to members.
