November/December Genealogy Meetings

As we approach the end of another busy year of genealogy meetings, classes, and special events, our StLGS volunteers are now hard at work planning next year's exciting calendar of events for you. We have one more meeting left on this year's calendar, and we have our last Jewish SIG meeting in early December. More information about everything is below.

StLGS January 2025 Genealogy Meetings and Classes

Happy New Year! We are excited to share our first meetings and classes of 2025 with you to get your genealogy year off to a rousing start. We also want to say thank you again to those of you who responded to our Giving Tuesday reminder about much-needed donations. Your enthusiasm and unwavering support of St. Louis Genealogical Society is what makes our society so successful and what makes our volunteers continue to be strongly committed to our mission to preserve, educate, and publish. We thank you so much for recognizing our dedication and making all of our future work possible. Now, on to the beginning of what all of us hope will be another fabulous year for StLGS!

If Only Geographic Borders Didn't Change!

It certainly makes it easier to do genealogy if your family lived in the same place for hundreds of years, doesn’t it? Well, maybe. The reality is that over time, borders are always changing. As America became more settled by non-native people, the borders of cities, counties, colonies, and then states were forever shifting. In Europe, centuries of disputes over who ruled what and where meant that stability was the exception and not the norm. What do movable boundaries mean for those of us trying to research our families?

It feels like the summer has flown by, doesn't it? But fall is almost here, and we are excited about our remaining meetings, some new upcoming classes, and our hybrid Fall Speaker Series. All the details to get you started with our fall event schedule are below.
