The Edmond Genealogical Society (EGS) was established in September, 1991, with 78 charter members by December 31, 1991. We meet monthly at the LDS Church in Edmond , OK.
Our purpose, as stated in the EGS Constitution, adopted in December, 1991:
- Bring together interested persons for discussion in the field of genealogy
- To study methods of research
- To assist its members in their genealogical research and compilations, particularly beginners in the field
- To issue publications when deemed beneficial to the membership
- To collect and preserve genealogical material and historical data
- To work and cooperate with other genealogical departments, societies, and libraries in the state
- To provide assistance for genealogical and historical research for the Edmond Historical Society patrons and museum staff
We are here to encourage the science of genealogy; to help others gather genealogical information; and to preserve, protect and publish information of importance. We are here to serve visitors as well as our members.

The Edmond Genealogical Society's next meeting will be on Monday, August 16th, 2021 at 6:30pm.
EGS is excited to present an audience participation program where members and guests can bring a family treasure or two and give a short story (two to five minutes) about the item's
provenance and what it means to that person.
"Heirloom Show and Tell" by EGS members and guests will be a very special and meaningful program so you won't want to miss it.
Please join us, on Monday August 16th, at the Edmond Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and bring a family heirloom with you.
Heirlooms can be jewelry, furniture, receipes, quilts, letters, musical instruments, kitchenware, art to name a few examples. If your item is too large, email a picture of it to
Jan Beattie at jankb80@sbcglobal.net which she will put onto a slide to show, and you'll be included in the program. There will be a sign-in sheet at the membership table when you
arrive to let us know you've brought something to share. Please sign in so we can include you in the program. This will be fun !
We will be looking forward to seeing you on Monday August 16th with your family heirloom!
