Mid Atlantic SIG

Mid-Atlantic Genealogy Special Interest Group

SIG Leader: Don Coram
Email: midatlanticsig@fxgs.org 

 

Purpose: The Mid-Atlantic SIG covers the states of New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia and New York City. To the extent of interest, the SIG will also temporarily cover Virginia and West Virginia in the absence of an Old Dominion SIG leader. SIG meetings will consist of interactive presentations by SIG members of their genealogical research, mostly related to the Mid-Atlantic region, but occasionally wandering further afield if our Mid-Atlantic research leads to other places. We also go on field trips to Mid-Atlantic research facilities.

 

Meetings: Our meetings are open to all — you do not have to be a member of the Fairfax Genealogical Society to attend. The plans for the next few meetings are to continue in the round table format.  We will focus in each meeting on Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, or West Virginia, provided that there is enough experience in research those states to make a round table discussion productive.  So please let me know on which of these four states you can contribute to a round table discussion.The plans for the next few meetings are to continue in the round table format.  We will focus in each meeting on Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, or West Virginia, provided that there is enough experience in research in those states to make a round table discussion productive.  So please let me know on which of these four states you can contribute to a round table discussion.
