Digging into your family history can bring to light long-lost relatives, hidden secrets, and even surprising connections. The volunteers with the Warren County Illinois Genealogical Society can help uncover those family roots you didn’t know existed, explains Lynn Devlin:

“The Warren County Genealogy Society and Library was started about 45 years ago by a group of wonderful people who did a great job of building and supporting, which is now being carried on now by volunteers. In this age of tracing your ancestors, that is what we do, and we have volunteers to help people get started, answer questions; plus, class opportunities on how to get started, what things you need to start with, and how to go about recording.”

The Warren County Illinois Genealogical Society is hosting a Genealogy Open House on Saturday, October 25th from 1 to 3 pm, located on the second floor of the Warren County Public Library in Downtown Monmouth, for the entire public to stop by and learn more about the available services.
