New COGS Shared Interest Group!

An introductory meeting will be held Sunday, 5 May 2024 | 2:00 – 3 p.m.

COGS membership not required for the first meeting.

The African American Genealogy Shared Interest Group (SIG) is being formed to learn and share research stories, problem-solving techniques, and tools that are focused on African American genealogy. This includes hearing speakers on genealogical and historical topics. COGS member Merryll Penson will lead this SIG.

Meeting times and locations (online/in-person) will be set based on member preferences. We welcome those whose expertise in African American family history research ranges from beginner to experienced and whose interest is local to national and beyond.
