Welcome to the website of the Centre County Genealogical Society, a dedicated group of genealogists with a Centre County connection. A non-profit organization, the society strives to serve its members and the public through informative meetings and workshops, a quarterly newsletter, and the publication of various types of county records. All meetings are free and open to the public and are held September to June, usually on the first Thursday of the month. Special events such as our Annual Family Heritage Afternoon at the Grange Fair and genealogy workshops are held throughout the year.

History: Now more than 30 years old, the Centre County Genealogical Society held its first meeting in December of 1975 as the Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society and Library. A few years later, the group's books were donated to the local LDS Church to provide the nucleus of its genealogy library, and our current name was adopted as it better reflected our interests. Today, the society has more than 250 active members living around the world.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Join us on Thursday, June 5 for our annual service project for the Pennsylvania Room.

Reminder to all: Anyone interested in genealogy is invited to join the CCGS or attend our meetings. Having a Centre County ancestor is not required!

Reminders to members: Near or far, the society can use your help - check out the society's volunteer opportunities. During the year, you may update your contact information online. Please keep your e-mail address current so that you will continue to receive notifications about upcoming events, publications and other items of interest.

See information and photos from our Tracing Your Irish Roots workshop held on March 8.

We will be glad to do limited local research. For $5.00 we will provide one-half hour of research and up to 5 pages of copied material. See our Request for Genealogical Research Services form for more information. If your need is for a simple copy of an obituary, marriage record, or …, please direct your request to the Pennsylvania Room. If you feel you need more extensive research, several Professional Researchers do Centre County Research.

You are visitor number since February 15, 2003.
