Lee County Genealogical Society

Southwest Florida

Anyone with an interest in tracing their “roots” will find a home with us. We help beginners get started and guide them in their work. We welcome experienced genealogists and encourage them to share their knowledge with others. We learn from and teach each other in small and large group meetings.

Welcome

What We Do
