Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

 
Our Society sponsors a variety of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to support our members who have interests in special genealogical topics. These groups generally meet once a month from September through May (no sessions during the summer).These meetings are interactive allowing opportunities for questions, discussions, and sharing of information.
 
Current SIGs include:
 
• Storytellers – Writing Family Stories:  don't let your stories or research get lost in time! Write stories to share with family and future generations.
 
• FamilyTree Maker:  a user's group helping genealogists at all levels on how to best use this software. 
 
Beginner's Genealogy:  this SIG covers all the basics on how to get started.
 
• Why It Matters to Family History:  this SIG is a series of 8 sessions that will examine important issues facing family historians; this series will run monthly through Sept. 4, 2024.
 
SIGs in search of a SIG Leader:
 
We have several SIGs listed below that are no longer active because they need a leader. If you're interested in becoming a SIG Leader, or have a suggestion for a new group, contact our Education Director at education@azsags.org
