The Passaic County Historical Society Genealogy Club was established in 1985 as an adjunct to the PCHS for the purpose of advancing genealogical study and discovering, obtaining, preserving and perpetuating whatever may relate to genealogy, biography and family history in Passaic County, New Jersey. In addition, the Club assists the Society in publishing and preserving Passaic County genealogical records.

We are headquartered at historic Lambert Castle, Valley Road, Paterson, New Jersey.  Regular meetings are held at the Castle on the the second Saturday of each month, September through May.  The business portion of the meeting begins at 10:00 a.m, after which light refreshments are served, followed by informative genealogical or historical presentations by a variety of knowledgeable speakers.

The Society's library collection includes various hereditary/patriotic society publications, transcripts of various Passaic, Bergen and Essex County church and cemetery records, special census records, newspaper abstracts, city directories, compiled family histories, family group sheets and historical works.  A surname database and card file are maintained to which researchers may submit information.  We have placed some of this material on the internet:  Resources On Line From the Collection

Visitors are welcome to attend two monthly meetings as guests.  By the third meeting, we hope that you would join the Passaic County Historical Society.  Joining the PCHS  automatically entitles  you to membership in the Genealogy Club.  Coupled with our monthly meetings, you will receive "The Castle Genie," the quarterly newsletter of the Genealogy Club and "The Historic County," the Society's newsletter.  Membership also entitles you to use the Library's abundant historical resource material and receive advance notice of any upcoming Historical Society functions and events.

On behalf of the officers and members, we thank you for your interest in the Passaic County Historical Society Genealogy Club.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
