Ellis County Genealogical
Society
The Society was organized July 14, 1977 with 70 charter members. Ruth
Ann Oates, the first president, helped form a strong and sustaining group
that for over 30 years has strived to document and preserve the history of
Ellis County and local families.
ECGS meets the 1st Monday of each month, 7:00 pm, at the Ellis County
Woman's Building, 407 West Jefferson Street in Waxahachie. Membership is
open to anyone interested in family history. Dues are $20 per calendar
year and includes a subscription to ECGS quarterly publication, Searchers
& Researchers.
Ellis County Genealogical Society
Current Officers
In September 2003, President Sylvia Smith announced that Ellis County
Genealogical Society's Board of Directors had voted to include under
its umbrella the newly formed group, African-American History of Ellis County,
as a Special Interest Group (SIG). This group led by Easter Butler Fleming
and Sylvia Smith will meet on the 4th Saturday of each month, 10:00
AM, in the Ellis County Museum. At present, their focus is to list
names of families, businesses, schools, churches and organizations of the
past. Oral history interviews with the oldest African-American citizens in
Waxahachie, Ennis, Italy, Milford and other communities is another priority
for the group. Ultimately, this information will be shared and published
in SEARCHERS & RESEARCHERS. <
