Mission Statement The object of the society shall be to collect, preserve and disseminate genealogical research and to encourage and instruct members in their proper documentation of findings. Our Society History In
1981 a group interested in genealogy took a class taught by Dr. William McCain at the
University of Southern Mississippi. This group decided to meet to help each other in their
interest and research of family histories. Out of this group our non-profit organization
was formed. There were 21 present at this meeting and Dr. Hugh Barnes was elected
organizational president. At the October 13, 1981 meeting, it
was decided the name of the group would be South Mississippi Genealogical & Historical
Society. Meetings continued informally until June 1982 when By-laws were adopted. Article
II states the objective of the society. It reads: "The object of the society
shall be to collect, preserve and disseminate genealogical research and to encourage and
instruct members in their proper documentation of findings" Dr. William McCain served as president
from October 12, 1982 to June 1986. |
