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 2022-2023 free educational program season, which runs from September 2022 through May of 2023. These programs are free, educational, and relate to the subject of genealogy. We hope that when we start the new season in September that we will be able to meet again in person at The Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library in downtown Fort Wayne. We will also live stream these programs on Zoom to allow everyone a chance to watch the programs no matter where you live. Our programs are always on the 2nd Wednesday of each month (Sep-May) at 7 pm ET. We do 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! Check back to this website soon to see the list of program speakers and topics that we've come up with.

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!

Mike Vorndran, President
