Welcome to WGS (Waterford Genealogical Society). We are located in Waterford, Michigan and are based out of the Waterford Township Public Library. We currently have our regular monthly meetings from 1:00 to 3:00 pm on the first Wednesday of every month in the Community Room, except for November when we have our Annual Luncheon at a local restaurant.

Michigan Genealogical Council Pioneer Certificate Program

The Michigan Pre-Statehood and First Families certificates are offered by Michigan Genealogical Council as a
way to honor our ancestors who settled the Great Lakes State.

Social Media

We have a social media menu item – Social Media on menu bar at top of page that links to a new page containing links to our Facebook page. Please feel free to click on the menu item to look at what we are doing to provide content.

Calendar/Meetings

We also have special evening ZOOM meetings from 7:00 to 8:30 pm – hosted by Julia Hanneman-Schoenbach on a variety of topics with the first half hour reserved for Germanic Genealogy questions.

With this reboot of our website we have added a new calendar that describes all of our meetings/events going forward for our organization as well as for those societies around us. We focus on those providing free content!

Come see our own Julia Hanneman-Schoenbach – do a presentation on Germanic Research on April 20, 2023 at Clarkston Area Genealogy Society (CAGS)! Come and support her at the CAGS meeting!
