Plymouth County Genealogists, Inc. is looking for new members. Membership includes access to the holdings of the PCGI library which are stored at the East Bridgewater Public Library. Those holdings include, but are not limited to, genealogical handbooks, member pedigree charts, maps, and videos. As a member you will also receive our newsletter, The Genealogical Inquirer, by email.
PCGI meets on the first Saturday of each month at the East Bridgewater Public Library, 32 Union Street, E. Bridgewater, MA to discuss genealogy and listen to an educational speaker. Our first meeting of 2021 will be held on September 11 at 11:00 am with guest speaker, Michael McClellan.
McClellan is a certificate holder of Boston University’s Genealogical Research course, along with holding degrees in Computer Programming and Accounting. He is passionate about his family history research, specializing in Swedish and New England research. He has deep roots in the U.S., being a descendant of the Mayflower through both of his parents. He has been involved with genealogy for over a decade and he loves to talk about it whenever he can. Guests of members are always welcome, but a donation to the organization is always appreciated.
Membership fees are $25 and help defray the cost of monthly lectures. Membership applications can be completed at the meetings or by visiting their website: www.plymouthcountygenealogists.org.
