About the Society

Founded in 1957, the Fort Worth Genealogical Society is a non-profit, educational corporation created to foster and maintain interest in genealogy among citizens of Tarrant County, Texas and surrounding areas. The Society publishes and distributes genealogical and historical information to the public and assists the Fort Worth Public Library in the acquisition of genealogical and historical research material. Through monthly meetings and other activities, the Society encourages the exchange of ideas and helps its members to develop efficient methods for genealogical and historical research.

Our meetings are in partnership with the Genealogy and Local History Department of the Fort Worth Public Library. We typically schedule four meetings each month, except December. Our General Membership Meeting falls on the last monday of each month with the exception of May, when the Library is closed for Memorial Day. We have an informal group that meets in the afternoon of the second Thursday to participate in group discussion.  Computer users meet on the second Monday in the Intel Computer Lab to learn about software or sites on the Internet. And finally, the Board of Directors meet on the third Saturday nine months out of the year. For more information about our meetings, return to our homepage and click on "Meetings."
