About the Lee County Genealogical Society
The Lee County Genealogical Society
It was founded in 1994 and is dedicated to the purpose of promoting awareness of family history and helping people in their genealogical research. The society is a not-for-profit organization, relying on work by volunteers and individual donations to help pay expenses. Library
Our Society has established a library to promote genealogy and to house our research materials. The "Family Tree Center" is located at 111 Hennepin Avenue in Dixon, Illinois. The Center is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and on Thursday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The hours vary on holiday weeks so it may be best to call and check our hours if you plan to visit (815-288-6702). Please call during open hours. Meetings
The Lee County Genealogical Society meets on the second Monday each month at 7:00 pm. The location varies so check with the society before attending. Each month we try to have a speaker to teach us about a different aspect of genealogy. Newsletter
Every other month we publish a newsletter. We always give a brief synopsis of each program. The president speaks of society events. Queries are printed, if accompanied by an address, The newsletter has articles on genealogy, history, and tidbits of advice. We encourage members to submit articles for the newsletter. For those who cannot attend the monthly meeting of the society, the newsletter is your contact with us. It is the next best way of gathering genealogy and historical information on the county without being here. |
