The Minnesota Genealogical Society sends out a monthly e-newsletter to all MGS members, and those that wish to sign up on our website. The newsletter is sent out on the first of each month, with an educational newsletter sent mid-month. 

The newsletter will keep you up-to-date on upcoming MGS programs and events, as well as news of MGS's interest groups, branches, and partners.  If you have information about these upcoming events, please contact the newsletter editor at newsletter@mngs.org.

News items for the next month should be sent to the editor by the 25th of the month.

The newsletter is not an appropriate place for essays or research articles. Please review the writer's guidelines for our quarterly journal, Minnesota Generations, to determine if your article might be a candidate for publication in the journal.

We invite you to subscribe at no cost. You can unsubscribe at any time, by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each newsletter.
