Madison County Families Project

The Family Project is never ending. We are in the process of collecting histories, charts and books. Our name database now has over 15,000 names. We encourage all interested researchers to add your family. Download and print the ancestral chart, fill it out completely or as much as you can and mail it to the Society. MCHS, P. O. Box 696, Anderson, IN 46015-0696.

Yearbooks
 
Do you have a yearbook from a Madison county school and no longer are interested in keeping it? The MCHS will take your yearbook for safe keeping. So, don't throw them away, recycle them to us! We are especially interested in yearbooks from other county schools such as Lapel, Pendleton, Elwood, and Frankton. Earlier grade school and junior high yearbooks are also desirable. If you wish to keep your yearbooks but would like to share them with us, we can make copies and give them back to you. MCHS is located at 15 W. 11th St., Anderson and we are open Mon., Wed., Fri., 9 am to 4 pm.
