Welcome

Welcome to the Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana. Founded in 1976, our Society has worked to promote genealogical research and education and to preserve records of genealogical value to family historians of Allen County.

Our educational speaker series has been announced. These programs are free, educational and hybrid. You may attend in person at the Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library or join us virtually. Please pre-register to obtain the Zoom link if attending virtually.

Consider joining us at the Genealogy Workshop. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at the Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library for informal education and discussion regarding all things genealogy. It's a great place to meet up with people who are passionate about family history and a great opportunity for networking.

Our website preserves records focused on Allen County, Indiana and is constantly updated with new features, records, charts, maps and links. Check back often for new records! Follow us social media platforms Facebook and X and be sure to check out our blog and the Allen County GenWeb.

While all of our educational programming is free, there are benefits to being a member! Many special record groups are available in our members-only section. Our speaker series of programs are recorded and available for repeat viewing to members. Additionally, membership includes our quarterly newsletter, LINES. Membership in our society is open to anyone worldwide and for Allen County researchers it is great value! Mail in your application form or join online.

It is my hope that you will find your people here at www.acgsi.org! I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
