The Seattle Genealogical Society, founded in 1923, is an educational organization devoted exclusively to furthering genealogical research, promoting interest in family history, and preserving records. The Seattle Genealogical Society's mission is to serve as a community resource for quality genealogical research and education.

 

We conduct meetings, offer classes and seminars, compile and publish research materials, and maintain a computer-equipped, 13,000-item library open to the public for researching family history. Wherever your ancestors lived, please consider joining us. Please come visit our library and check out our resources covering every U.S. state and many countries. Check out our calendar and upcoming events listing at the right to see the range of programs and classes we offer.

Support SGS while shopping online!

If you are thinking about buying anything from Amazon this holiday season, please be aware that there are two ways in which you can purchase items from Amazon.com that can benefit the Seattle Genealogical Society, without affecting the price you pay!

One way is to access Amazon through the SGS Affiliates page. Every time you purchase from Amazon (or one of our other affiliate partners) by clicking through our link on the SGS website, SGS receives a small amount of commission payment, at no cost to you! Just one click while you do your normal shopping, and SGS benefits!

The other way (and this one is particularly good for heavy users of Amazon.com!) is via the AmazonSmile program. Sign in using your regular username and password then select 'Seattle Genealogical Society' as the charitable organization from their drop-down menu. Once this is done, any and all purchases you make via this portal will benefit SGS, without increasing your costs. Add this web address to your favorites and help SGS this holiday season, and throughout the year!

Thank you for your continued support! Happy holidays!
