Special Interest & Study Groups

Info for our genealogical Special Interest & Study Groups…


Special Interest & Focus Groups

Our BGS Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are communities within our broader organization that serve to support our members that have a mutual interest in a specific genealogical area. They typically meet monthly depending on the interests of the members and the group’s facilitator.  These SGIs aim to advance knowledge in a specific area of genealogy in the group by:

  • Offering opportunities for discussion, questions, and sharing of information, skills and experiences among genealogists.
  • Having subject matter experts share their knowledge.

Volunteer Opportunities! We would love to form several more SIGs, but we need a leader or facilitator for each group.

Family Search – Special Interest Group

You are invited to join with LGS members and non-members in a group to study and discuss the FamilySearch website.

The purpose of this Special Interest Group is to share hints, how-to’s, and discuss features of the Family Search website both as a research resource and the FamilySearch tree as a repository of your genealogy and as a source of info. FamilySearch.org is the world’s largest FREE genealogy website. Unlike the Workshops and Help Sessions sponsored by LGS the purpose of this SIG is not to specifically aid in doing individual genealogy research but to help participants gain a better understanding of this website for doing your personal research. Also, it is not a presentation by an instructor but is intended as a forum for the sharing of knowledge and ideas among the participants as peers.
