MGS News
Since 1972, the Maryland Genealogical Society has published a newsletter to keep members abreast of items of ephemeral interest such as activities of the Society and other local historical and genealogical groups; new publication announcements; membership renewals; advertisements; deaths of members and local genealogists; as well as announcements of other current issues. Starting in 2018, the printed
MGS Newsletter transitioned to a e-newsletter format with publication of the first issue of the
MGS News.
Receipt of
MGS News is a benefit of membership, and archived copied of past newsletters are available to members in the Members Only section of the web site. If you would like to submit an item for possible inclusion in the newsletter, email
newsletter@mdgensoc.org.
“Leave No Stone Unturned” was a series of occasional articles in
MGS News and its predecessor, the
MGS Newsletter, by the late Robert Barnes. Bob was the author of many source books, compiled family histories, and guides, and taught many courses in genealogical research and lectured at genealogical conferences. An archive of his articles is available to MGS members in the
Members Only section of the web site.
