Mini-Seminars:
This year, instead of the usual Annual Fall Seminar, TPCGS has instead opted to present at least 2 Mini-Seminars. The first one will be held on June 6th and will be a demonstration of Genealogy Computer Programs.
Monthly Meetings:
Guests are always welcome at our meetings. Come meet other Pierce-County genealogists and listen to great speakers.
History of the Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society:
The society was organized in the spring of 1961 and began with 6 members, ending its first full year with 54 members. There are currently more than 350 members in the society, many of whom live in the Tacoma-Pierce County area of Washington state, as well as many other areas of the United States.
The Puyallup Fair:
TPCGS sponsors a table and genealogy display in the Hobby Hall at the Puyallup Fair each year. The fair runs for three weeks each Fall in Puyallup, Washington. The Puyallup Fair is one of the largest fairs in the nation. TPCGS volunteers take turns manning the table in order to answer questions from fair-goers who are interested in learning more about their family history. The TPCGS table provides brochures, genealogy forms and membership information.
