Being part of a society helps you become a better genealogist no matter where your ancestors lived.  MVGS isn’t solely focused on researching Virginia; we just happen to live here.  By joining, you can connect with others who are passionate about researching their ancestors.  You can be connected to a network that keeps you informed of the latest products, news, and educational opportunities locally and nationwide.  Our meetings provide members with an opportunity to network with other genealogists, share research findings and access genealogical assistance.  It is also an opportunity to make lasting friendships with others.
