CTGS Programs for Genealogy and History


Each month, CTGS co-sponsors with WMCL's Genealogy Center free educational programs open to the public, including a noon brown bag lunch program and an evening program the 4th Monday of each month. Topics include research tips and tools, local and state historical events, beginner classes, genealogical DNA, techniques for genealogy and historical place research, and much more. Additionally, small group meetings, called Special Interest Groups, are available to those who want to learn more about specific topics.  Workshops are presented each year by professional genealogists.  
 
An all-day event, known as the "Genealogy Lock-in" is held each year on the third Friday in October. The WMCL Genealogy Center networks with libraries from aross the U.S. for an educational extravaganza of genealogical research and shared programming.
 
CTGS Member dues are used to provide the quality programs and to support the amazing collection in the WMCL Genealogy Center. We invite you to join this group of passionate genealogists so that you, too, can "Discover Your Own Family History."
