EasyNetSites Issues
As some of you may have heard, the owner of the company that hosts our new website, EasyNetSites.com (ENS), has run into legal problems. The result is that ENS will only be hosting websites through the end of June 2021 (at best). Our Webmaster, Ann Wright, has formed a small team to identify a new host and plan a transition of our website to the new host. If you, or someone you know, has experience with current website technology and be interested in consulting on this effort, please contract Ann at webmaster@seagensoc.org.
If our website should suddenly disappear, please check our Facebook page for information about the Society and Upcoming Events:
Library Closure Update
Due to COVID-19 outbreak in Seattle, the SGS Board has decided to close the SGS Library at 6200 Sand Point Way and not reopen until King County has been approved for Phase 4 of the Washington State plan for recovering from the COVID-19 shutdown. This action has been taken to help protect our members, guests, and patrons.
Note that only the library facility is closed. Many Society activities such as seminars, workshops, and SIG meetings have moved on-line. See the Calendar of Events and the bi-monthly SGS eNews! email newsletter for details. COVID-19 can close our Library, but it can’t shut down the Society!

Do you want to collaborate with SGS members? Have you wondered if a member has a research area similar to your own? To find out, visit the online database SGS Member Surname Registry at the link below. You will find a searchable list of research names added exclusively by our members.
For each entry you can view more details by selecting the "eye" icon, or you can write a message to the member by selecting the "envelope" email icon. Follow the instructions to send the message on our secure website system. (Note, you will not have access to the member's name or contact information unless they choose to reply, and we cannot guarantee that you will receive a response.)
