Genealogy is about more than just finding out the names of people to which you may be related. It's about discovering your heritage, learning about your family's story, and understanding the events of the past. However, doing genealogical research can often be difficult. That's why we offer our programs and workshops on Genealogy topics.

Focus on Genealogy Programs

The St. Charles County Historical Society (SCCHS) holds four free Focus on Genealogy Programs each year. Our programs occur on Tuesday evenings in March, May, September, and November. The programs are free and open to the public, however Reservations are Required.

The programs allow speakers with experience to discuss genealogical topics, including how-to's and what resources to use. Past topics include:

Changes and updates on Family Search websites
How to preserve your own family's documents, photos, and other records
Using maps in genealogical research
Tips and tricks for doing African-American genealogy

Please check the list of UPCOMING EVENTS in the right column on our HOME page for information on the next Focus on Genealogy Program.
