Library Recovery
 |
| Wet books were temporarily stored on tables in the library. |
Thanks to our volunteers the damage in the SGS Library due to the November water leak was minimized. The damaged books that could not be salvaged will be replaced and the others were dried and cleaned. The books are being returned to their correct places on the shelves. We are very thankful that most of the damage was reversible.
Meanwhile, over the holiday break our volunteers installed newly donated workstations and chairs. The computer stations have more room and there are more work areas available. We are also scheduling new lighting for the computer area. Come by the library and take a look, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
As a volunteer-led, donation-driven organization we appreciate all that our members do for the Society.

Take a look at our Surname Registry
Do you want to collaborate with SGS members? Have you wondered if a member has a research area similar to your own? Visit the SGS Member Surname Registry. Here 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.)
Members, if you would like to view or edit your personal surnames list, log in and go to your Member Profile page. Then click on the "Surnames" tab.
