Welcome to the Tidewater Genealogical Society

 
New By-Laws
The new TGS By-Laws passed on Saturday, November 16th at the General Meeting.  They have been added to the website for viewing.  The old By-Laws were last amended 11 years ago.
The new By-Laws reflect the changing composition of our members and bring TGS into the 21st century.

Next Event
The Holiday Party is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10th at 12:30 pm.  Put it on your calendar!
All members, their family and guests are invited to join.  Just bring a side dish to share.  The party will be held in our usual meeting place, 14415 Old Courthouse Way, Newport News, VA  23608.

On-Going Projects
Library Book Catalog
The inventory of the TGS Library books is almost complete.  Once completed, the cataloged books will become part of the Newport News Public Library system and will be available through their branches and website.  The TGS Library will become a non-lending branch of the Newport News Public Library system.
 
Journals Room
The Journals Room has gotten a complete make-over.  Those Journals that didn't pertain to the Society's research area were removed.  The Journals are now in alphebetical order by state and the publishing organization.  The next step is to complete a shelf inventory.  If you would like to help when volunterring, there will be a green Library Volunteer Task binder in the room with instructions.
 
A big thanks goes to everyone that has been working on these projects!
 

 
The TGS Library is alway in need of volunteers.  Can't you give just 2.5 hours each month to help?  Call the Library to get on the schedule.
