Muscogee Genealogical Society

The Muscogee Genealogical Society is dedicated to the preservation of the history of the original Muscogee County, Georgia area and its people, as well as the education of individuals in the techniques of discovering their own heritage anywhere in the world.

Beginning in 1827, the size of the county was reduced when Harris, Marion, and Talbot counties were formed from the northern and eastern portions of the original Muscogee County. In 1854 an additional county, Chattahoochee, was formed from the southern section of Muscogee County. Other counties that contain land from the original Muscogee County include Macon, Schley, and Taylor. Today the county comprises 216 square miles.

The City of Columbus and the Muscogee County governments were consolidated in 1971.

The Society holds quarterly genealogical programs and publishes the Muscogiana biannually.
