ABOUT THE RCGS NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE - scroll down for newsletter links

The Archives below links to full text versions of nearly 40 years of the RCGS Newsletter. Over the course of it's history, the RCGS Newsletter was known variously as:
  • Member News - the original and longest-lived version of the RCGS newsletter
  • The Finial - a brief combined effort of both RCGS and the local Historical Society
  • Roots in the Rock - the newest newsletter - with a makeover, and a fresh and engaging format.
Each RCGS newsletter provides indexes, articles, family queries, speakers' program summaries and research suggestions. To pinpoint newsletters in which your ancestors have been mentioned, an Every-Name index has been created in the Members-Only web area (click here). Not a member? - join here.
