       The purpose of the German Interest Group - Wisconsin (GIG) is to educate and support our members with their German genealogical research. The GIG sponsors monthly evening meetings with speakers and an annual workshop, usually held on the campus of UW-Whitewater in July.

       Meetings are the first Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Mark Lutheran Church, 2921 Mount Zion Avenue, Janesville. There are no meetings in January, July, or September. Yearly dues are $7.50/single or $10.00/family and include a quarterly newsletter. An index to previous newsletter contents is located on a separate page.

      Members also may register their surnames, which will be added to the GIG member surname index.
