Welcome to the website of CGS !
(2020 in-person meetings are cancelled due to the CoVID-19 pandemic – programs are being presented as viewable videos for members only, remaining available for 4 weeks at a time. All in-person society meetings & classes – board and general – are cancelled until further notice, BUT we will be holding quasi-monthly meetings via Zoom to discuss matters pertinent to the members and invited guests. If you are not on our mailing list or connected to our Facebook page, contact Twila Costello (ttcjg [at] yahoo [dot] com) to join and information and registration invitation will be sent. Meanwhile, we will continue with the videos, being recorded or shared specifically for our use and requiring access to the Members Only page. This calls for a current password to enter. Programs will be available for personal use only.
UNTIL 24 MARCH!
A new video is available from 24 Feb to 24 Mar 2021 (therein, and/or, about):
CHRISTINE WOODCOCK of Canada (Scottish-born)
Talking about
COLONIZING CANADA
Were your ancestors in or from Canada? This presentation may give you some insight into the history and the people. If you do not know, this presentation just might give you some clues for your research.
Christine says that she has the best job: teaching people about their Scottish and Canadian roots. While she operates tours to Scotland, this time she takes us on a virtual tour of Canada, the country in which she was raised, to give us all a better perspective of “our” (speaking for the Corona folks) neighbors to the north.
More information, the link to the video presentation, and link to the handout can be found on the Members Only page.
This video is designated for members-only. To participate, just become a member! Not a member, or not renewed for 2020-21 (or want to renew for 2021-22)? Please go to our membership page and complete the form and send in your dues!
Coming the end of March: Another informative and educational video for Genealogists! Be sure to check back for the link and/or check out the meetings page.

Meetings are held in the Community Room, the first Monday of every month* from 6:30 – 8:30pm.
To network, get to know each other, or receive/give genealogical research assistance, “early birds” are welcome to gather at 6:00pm. ——————-
*in the event that the first Monday is a holiday, the meeting is automatically “bumped” to the second Monday (or scheduled for the prior Monday).. The society is open to anyone who wishes to research his/her family history. Monthly programs are offered to assist us in successfully identifying our ancestors of all backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, religions, etc. Members are also encouraged to assist others by presenting a topic that will be of interest to the rest of the group and participating in the various projects the society hosts.
