About the society
The Heart O’ Wisconsin Genealogical Society has served Wood County researchers since 1974, collecting and preserving the county’s family history records.
Our mission
- To foster interest in genealogy.
- To provide a meeting place for the presentation and exchange of genealogical information.
- To assist members and others with genealogical problems.
- To find, preserve and make local records available to all who are interested.
- To promote high standards of ethical principles and practices in genealogical research.
- And to have fun while doing so!
Meetings
We meet at 9:30 a.m. on the third Saturday of each month except January and July, usually in the all-purpose room, lower level of McMillan Memorial Library, 490 East Grand Avenue, Wisconsin Rapids. Visitors are always welcome. See upcoming programs.
