Lee County Genealogical Society

Southwest Florida

Whether you’re just beginning to trace your roots or have years of experience, you’ll
find a welcoming home with us. We support beginners as they get started and encourage
seasoned genealogists to share their expertise. Through both small and large group gatherings,
we learn from one another and grow together.

What We Do

Our Mission: The purpose of this Society will be to create and maintain an organization for the advancement of genealogical research and education; to aid and encourage individuals in researching family history; to foster fellowship and cooperation among such individuals, and for the further purpose of receiving and collecting genealogical and historical records, and for preserving such records in libraries and archives.

Workshops, training, and local research facilities are provided, sustained and supported by the LCGS.

Preservation

Our volunteers have preserved and made available local resources including Death Index and Florida Marriages, and have published original works of local traditions.
