We have an AmazonSmile account. What is that you ask? It is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization (which we hope is the Rush County Genealogical Society, of course).

We have partnered with 'History in Your Own Backyard' over the last several months to produce nearly a dozen Rush County cemetery videos. Have a look at the details on our Cemetery Videos page!
We've made some changes and added some new content to our website. Please check it out on our What's New page!
