In the late 1990's GSSI published a ten-volume set of 2000 Ancestor Charts submitted by members of the Society at that time. We are proud and excited to announce that surname indexes to each of the ten volumes are now published on line. The 61 pages of surnames added to this website list more than 12,500 individuals associated with Southern Illinois families. Anyone researching an ancestor who lived in one of the twenty-eight southernmost counties of Illinois should be sure to consult this invaluable resource.
To access and browse the indexes go to the Publications page and scroll down to Genealogy Society of Southern Illinois Ancestor Charts. Members may purchase any of the volumes at only $5.00 each. Non-members are asked to add $4.00 postage and handling for each volume ordered.
