  • We have secured our own web space and can now be found at www.mccogs.org. Be sure to change your bookmarks accordingly. We have also included our User Submitted Files Archive which is available to all MCCOGS members. This section will include Newsletter Archives as they are digitized. We already have many of the early newsletters available for reading!

  • We have added a new category to our Publications Page. "Newspaper Abstracts" includes many Muskingum Newspapers abstracts from 1938-1957.

  • Cemetery Transcription Project - Volunteers needed! We invite all local genealogists to assist in this project to update all the county cemetery transcriptions organized by Dug Kreis.
