About Us
The Imperial Polk Genealogical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing family history. Our society was founded in 1981 with the goal of promoting genealogy research and helping individuals trace their ancestry. Our membership ranges from beginner to advanced researchers, and we even have a professional genealogist on our team to provide guidance and support.
