President's Message
Welcome to the Southern Arizona Genealogy Society web site.
We are an organization dedicated to helping you discover your family history. We hold monthly meetings from October through May, publish a monthly newsletter, Past Tracks, and have Special Interst Groups where genealogy topics, such as genealogy research and DNA, can be explored in greater depth in a small group setting. We also hold an annual seminar every February featuring a well-known genealogy expert. We are also affiliated with the award-winning Genealogy Library located within the La Posada Shoppes in Green Valley, AZ.
I hope you enjoy exploring our website, and hope you'll consider joining our society.
