Carroll County
Genealogical Society
Carroll County, Georgia
The Society
The Carroll County Genealogical Society (CCGS) was founded in 1976 by twelve charter members, all residents of Carroll County Georgia. Now we have about 185 Members scattered across the United Sates. We still hold fast to our original purpose - To preserve local family and public records; evaluate and share those records with interested genealogists.
In keeping with those goals, CCGS presents monthly programs, publishes a quarterly journal, maintains close ties with our local library's Special Collection Room, and encourage members to add their family history to our collection. In the past we have sponsored many annual workshops and conducted genealogy classes for beginners, open to members and nonmembers.
Our Society has also published several books of county records, such as deed abstracts, census records, cemetery surveys, indicies to our early quarterlies, and assisted in reprinting some histories.
Membership is open to anyone interested in the subject of genealogy. The cost is $20 per year, which includes the Carroll County Genealogical Quarterly.

Society Meeting Infomation
The Carroll County Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday February 25, 2010 in the Edith Foster Room of the Neva Lomason Library at 6:00 PM (New Time). The program for February will be presented by Society members Betty Jo Parsons, Sarah Boyd and Alan Pearce. The program is entitled, "Special Collections - What's Here and How Can I Find It"? A power-point presentation will be shown which will provide a virtual tour of the Special Collections room. After the presentation we will break up into groups for a short tour of the special collections room.
Reminder - 2010 Membership Dues are due and can be paid at the meeting.
Important Change Coming in 2010
Beginning in 2010 the start times for our local meetings will be changed from 7:00 pm to 6:00 pm. We are making this change to allow more time for our members to spend networking with each other after the regular scheduled meeting.
With the library closing at 8:00 pm and our meetings usually ending at 8:00 pm, there was not enough time for our members to spend discussing their research with other members or finding any help they may need. Also, access to the Special Collections room was not available after 8:00 pm.
Society Publications
The Carroll County Genealogical Society has several publications that may be of interest to researchers, including county histories, early census records, deed books and cemetery books.
