The Southwest Florida Germanic Genealogy Society was founded in November 2006 by local genealogists involved in Germanic research. Over 50 researchers attended the first meeting during which dues were set, meeting dates planned and officers elected.
Our goal is to provide fellowship, education and support in our research about the history and genealogy in regions where the German language and culture was, or is, prevalent.
We support and educate persons interested in learning and applying accepted practices for German genealogical research and disseminate information to the membership about events pertinent to their German research, both current and historical.
