In the meantime, we have multiple events scheduled during March and April. Take a look at the Events Tab on the left or the Upcoming Events feed on the right to see when they are happening.
Anchorage Genealogical Society (AGS)
The Anchorage Genealogical Society (AGS) is a nonprofit organization based in Anchorage, Alaska, dedicated to all things genealogy. Genealogical research is a little more challenging in the Great Land. We are hours -- even days -- away from anywhere else, our branch of the National Archives was moved to Seattle, and many of us have come here from other states and countries, leaving our ancestral roots far behind. Even "locals" and Native Alaskans face unique hurdles in researching past generations. AGS is committed to providing a supportive, educational group for family historians and professional genealogists alike. Join us today!
Monthly Meetings
We meet on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:00 PM (no meetings June through August). The public is always welcome and we would love to have you join us! Currently, our meetings are being held virtually via ZOOM at 6 PM.
Please see the "Events" tab for the most updated information about the meetings.
Local Resources in Anchorage
- The Anchorage Genealogical Society (AGS), with monthly meetings, and a friendly, knowledgeable group of people willing to share information and technical tips on research, and to offer support to others.
- An excellent Genealogical Section, and the Alaskan Room, on the 3rd floor of the Z. J. Loussac Library. Members may contact Gretchen Bersch at: gtbalaska@icloud.com, if interested in becoming the volunteer coordinator. Volunteers typically volunteer a few hours a week assisting library patrons with their genealogy research. Please note that ibrarians are unable to assist with genealogy beyond locating resources from their catalog.
- A friendly LDS Family History Center. Experienced volunteers are on hand to assist with computers, microfilm/fiche and readers, and most major on-line genealogy resources. This service is available free of charge to the public. Church affiliation is not necessary. Call 907-277-8433 before you go. Open times vary depending on staffing.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
- Effective September 7, 2017, researchers can no longer order microfilms through FamilySearch. Full digitization is not expected for another two to three years.
