Scope and Content
This collection contains records collected and created by the Jackson County
Genealogical Society in Jackson County, Missouri. The bulk of the collection is a series
of family history records compiled by the Genealogical Society and its members. These
files include family trees, descendant charts, and other materials used in the research of
these family lines. The collection also contains a series on Jackson County schools,
which contains historic documents and photographs of various schools within the
county. The collection contains many materials used in the research of genealogy, as
well as materials that the Society and its members wrote about various historical
topics. Items in the Civil War series are materials on the subject of the U.S. Civil War
rather than materials from the war or the time period itself. The collection also contains
scrapbooks, cemetery information, census information, and various information on
topics of history local to the Kansas City region. The collection also contains some
written works and materials related to various events put on by the Genealogical
Society.
