The Wake County Genealogical Society (WCGS) was organized in April, 1982, to promote genealogical study and research, to serve as a medium for the exchange of genealogical or historical information, to encourage the preservation of genealogical or historical records, and to provide cultural, educational, and social opportunities involving genealogy. In 1983, WCGS was incorporated as a nonprofit organization under the laws of the State of North Carolina.

WCGS welcomes all who are interested in genealogy. You do not have to have Wake County or North Carolina ancestors to be a member. WCGS meets at 7:00 p.m. on the 4th Tuesday monthly except for June, July, August, and December.

Members receive the society journal, Wake Treasures, and the quarterly newsletter, WCGS Updates., in which they may place an unlimited number of free queries. Both of these publications are available on the WCGS website for download. Members receive access to all issues for the current year and to an archive of past issues.

Annual dues (September 1 to August 31) are $20.00 for individuals and institutions and $25.00 for families (two people related by blood or marriage residing at the same address). New memberships received after May 30 are applied to the next membership year.

Please join today. The rewards are priceless.
