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
Mission:
Our mission is to promote genealogy awareness and help one another discover our family stories while honoring our diverse heritage. We achieve this through educational programs and mutual research support among members of all skill levels.
