NOTICE
Due to the continually climbing number of COVID cases, the Cloud County Genealogical Society has decided to cancel meetings for the rest of this year. We will try to meet in January of 2021, depending on the viral situation at that time. Though we are not meeting, keep climbing those family trees and bring in great stories of all you've found when we are able to meet again!
