Brown County Genealogical Society was organized in 1986 to encourage the enjoyment and study of genealogy; to assist others in gathering their families’ genealogical information; to preserve and to publish material of historical and genealogical nature - all for educational purposes.  But we think of its purpose as fun, friends and research!

Member Events:    Member gatherings and field trips are focused on genealogy.  They may involve education/learning, research, collaboration, collecting/preserving/indexing materials or any combination of these.

Meeting Event Logistics:    Planning, preparation and leadership for events is on a volunteer basis.  The member who volunteers will select the topic or activity, location, and date/time for the meeting.  Our "home base" is the Brown County Public Library in Nashville, Indiana but meetings may occur in various locations - either inside or outside of Brown County.  Our regular meeting time is 1:00pm on the second Thursday of the month.

Board Meetings:   A three-member board handles the business, planning and directional needs of the organization.  Regular board meetings are held semi-annually.  Special meetings are held to address specific needs.
