GSMC Has a New Home!
 
     We are delighted to announce that GSMC has secured a new home, located in the Memorial Park Cemetery at 9350 East Washington St., just east of I-465. This will enable our relocation from the Crown Hill Waiting Station where we have been for 15 years.
     Originally built in the 1920’s, this handsome historic building served as the offices of Memorial Park until about 12 years ago. Now it will be ours for many years to come! We will have an expanded and more available Library, as well as being able to host more educational programs.
     Relocation is anticipated by July and planning has already begun to make it suitable for our office, research library, and education purposes. Financial donations to cover moving expenses, as well as offers of bookcases, office furniture, and seating are appreciated (contact Info@GenealogyIndy.org). We will be providing more specific information as timely as possible.
Memorial Park is operated by the Washington Park Cemetery Association, an Indiana not-for-profit orga­nization and affiliated with the Buchanan Group and the Flanner and Buchanan Funeral Centers.
     A more formal public announcement and media release is being planned for the near future. Watch for more details.

 

The Annual Report 2012 is now online. This is the report which was presented to Members at the December General Membership Annual Meeting. Check it out! http://genealogyindy.org/cpage.php?pt=139
