Massachusetts Genealogical Council Welcomes You!

The MGC is an umbrella organization representing genealogists, historical researchers, and all those concerned about records preservation and open access to public records.

MGC holds a yearly seminar packed with multiple tracks of genealogical lectures and workshops, networking and book sales. We even provide lunch! The 2012 seminar is in the planning stages now and promises to be better than ever!

We hope you will consider joining the Massachusetts Genealogical Council. You will receive a significant discount on the July seminar. In addition, you will be directly notified of any legislation which threatens access to public records. And we are currently developing even more member benefits. Anyone interested in preserving open access to public records (individual or organization) is welcome!

Share The proposed revisions to MGC's by-laws were unanimously approved at a Council meeting held on 14 January 2012. Most of the revisions were cleaning up inconsistent language, but a few issues have changed. You can have a look at them by clicking here: MGC By-Laws, Revised 14 Jan 2012.

Share We are currently preparing for the Massachusetts Genealogical Council's 2012 Annual Seminar, to be held 21 July 2012 at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. This year's seminar will focus on *Ethnicity and Genealogy*. Many of the lectures will highlight the migration and genealogical history of different ethnic groups in the United States. The Executive Board is extending an invitation to interested parties to become a valued sponsor of our Annual Seminar. There are many benefits to sponsorship. We are available to discuss any specific details about the benefits of sponsorship with you on an individual basis. We look forward to hearing from you at program@massgencouncil.org. Sincerely, Mary Tedesco and Phil Hermann Co-Directors of Programs
