In all of us there is a hunger to know our heritage .... to know who we are and where we came from.

We usually meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm in the County Court Building in Neepawa, 282 Hamilton Street.


Meeting Format:
Quite often we have a short presentation by a member on a topic of interest, a time to share what topics we are researching, and time to do research and help each other as needed.

We charge a $15 yearly membership fee, and often members will donate a loonie or toonie to the bean jar at each meeting. We use our funds to pay for printing costs, wifi costs, and the purchase of items like binders and storage cabinets.
