QUERIES SOLICITED!
While the Society has neither the facilities nor personnel to
answer queries, they encourage members and non members alike to send queries to
be published in their bimonthly newsletter,
The Informer at no
cost. Send your queries to
Lis Couch, query editor or to
Jerry Davis
The queries are subject to editing, and will be printed as room is available. Only those mentioning Jefferson County, NY or a location within the county can be used
Please make sure that your correct snail mail address is in the query and that
you state that the query is to be printed in The Informer.
The Informer reaches an audience which is largely not on the
internet, and so provides another group to help you with your research.
To join JCNYGS and receiveThe Informer, a 24 page publication
dedicated to Jefferson County New York genealogy, contact the address
above. Dues are $15 per year for a basic membership, $20 per couple. Each issue contains news of the society, and articles of interest to family historians.
Currently we are featuring historical sketches of little known or forgotten hamlets of the county.
MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS!
It helps us maintain timely mailings if you also indicate summer and
winter addresses, and the time for us to change from one to the other.

From the Genealogy Committee
Our constitution states, in part, that one of the purposes of this
society is to "gather, preserve, display and make available for study genealogy
information, manuscripts, papers...relating to the...genealogy of Jefferson
County." The committee is now organized to receive any family history or
genealogy you may wish to deposit. The family history can be in any form, from a
simple family group sheet or collection of family group sheets, to a register
report, to a full-fledged published book.
The collection will be available to members at meetings, and to the
public through the courtesy of the Historical Association of South Jefferson at
Adams.
Please send any materials to the above Watertown address, clearly marked
"Genealogy Committee". For further information, please contact:
Clancy Hopkins, corresponding secretary,
putting "Genealogy Committee" in the subject heading.
