The 2015 NGS Conference local host society, St. Louis Genealogical Society (StLGS) is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization with members in forty-nine states and five foreign countries. Founded in 1968, StLGS is the largest local genealogical society in the United States, renowned for excellence in programming, resources, classes, and membership services.
StLGS offers free monthly genealogy programs. At the annual Family History Conference, attendees learn from national and local speakers and have access to vendor booths. The Society features a variety of activities including the Speaker Series, institutes, and an annual research trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
StLGS members receive the Quarterly journal and a monthly newsletter, News n’ Notes. Everyone is encouraged to subscribe to the society blog, StlGS News Flash, Facebook, and Twitter.
StLGS volunteers preserve historical records such as cemetery, church and synagogue records, marriages, and census and make the information available to researchers through indexing projects, data on the Society website, and publications. Volunteer indexing opportunities are available in the office or in the comfort of member’s homes.
StLGS has a comprehensive website, continuously updated. In addition to schedules of events and classes, the site contains information on hundreds of thousands of past St. Louis area residents. The Online Store area offers books, CDs, and other publications for sale. An exclusive Members-Only section features many family history resources and unique databases including the Robert Parkin Manuscript Collection, maps, and other local records. The society indexed more than 1.6 million St. Louis City and County cemetery records and all are available to society members on the website.
