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.

EGS Meeting and Program for November 18, 2019: "Can Genealogy and Spirtuality be Compatible?"
Please join us to hear speaker, Belinda Ruffel, Consultant. Ms Ruffel will speak on the topic: Can Genealogy and Spirtuality be Compatible?
Offering a different spin on the way we currently view genealogy, the Edmond Genealogical Society's Monday, November 18, 2019 program "Can Genealogy and Spirituality
be Compatible?" will be presented by Belinda Ruffel, Consultant and Speaker. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.
at the Edmond Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), 1315 East 33rd St., in Edmond.
Over the years Belinda Ruffel has had the opportunity to study many world religions. She has been fascinated to observe many
similarities in the way the different religions view their ancestors, hereditary personality and attitudinal perspectives.
Come join us as she shares ancient wisdom and guides us through a holistic view of genealogy.
Ms. Ruffel graduated from Marymount College/Parsons School of Design in New York City, NY and currently studies at Robbins-Madanes Center for Strategic Intervention.
She resides in Edmond, Oklahoma.
