Welcome

Welcome to the Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana. Since 1976, our Society has worked to promote genealogical research and enhance access to materials of interest to family history researchers.

Our website information is focused on Allen County, Indiana, and is constantly being updated with new features, records, charts, maps, and links. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to check out our blog and the Allen County GenWeb.

We've scheduled speakers for the 2023-2024 free educational program season, which runs from September 2023 through May of 2024. These programs are free, educational, and relate to the subject of genealogy. For more information, see our online schedule of programs. We record the free educational programs and place them on our website under the "Members Only" section. Another good reason to become a member of our society!

Membership is open to anyone world-wide. As a member, you will receive access to the members-only section of this website along with Lines, our quarterly newsletter. Click on the link for an application form or join online.

I hope you will find www.acgsi.org helpful for your research and encourage you to attend the free ACGSI monthly programs. See you there!
