:Q. Do I need to live in Chicago to become a member of CGS? | |||
:A. Great question! No need to live in our fair City of Chicago. As a matter of fact, about half of our members live elsewhere around the globe. CGS can help you find genealogical resources in Chicago for your ancestors who once lived here thru our website, publications, free member queries & free member lookups. It's also easy to keep in touch with us thru our many social media outlets including the CGS Blog, CGS Facebook, CGS Pinterest, CGS Twitter, CGS YouTube Channel and CGS Website all listed above! | |||
