We Will Help

PVGS has experienced volunteers who will be glad to help you with your research, whether you are a beginner or an advanced genealogist.

We are on duty and ready to help on days we're open at the Local History & Genealogy Library across from the courthouse, 213 S Broadway.

We have monthly meetings at the same place every second Monday at 6:00 p.m., love to have you there.

Can't come by the library? Then give us a call at 325-646-6006 and we will help you or take request for lookups.

Prefer email? Then send your question or comment to us at
