Purpose
The Shasta Genealogical Society (SGS) was founded in 1968 by local genealogists with a passion for discovering their ancestry. We believe a coordinated effort to provide educational opportunities to genealogical research will result in a significant benefit to all.
We help beginners get started and guide them in their work. We welcome experienced genealogists and encourage them to share their knowledge and discoveries with others. We learn from and teach each other in our monthly meetings. Anyone with an interest in tracing their “roots” will find a home with us. Our Mission is to further research in genealogy and family history and to assist all who desire to learn how to do genealogical research. Our members have come from all parts of the United States with a variety of geographical roots and occupations. Our interest in family history brings us together as we share our knowledge. Our research skills grow and so do our family trees.
