The Wisconsin State Genealogical Society (WSGS) is a statewide genealogical organization. Founded in 1939, WSGS now has members both within and outside of Wisconsin. We're a non-stock, nonprofit Wisconsin corporation whose basic purpose is to encourage, facilitate and improve the quality of genealogical study in Wisconsin and about Wisconsin families.
To these ends, WSGS:
Collects and publishes genealogical and historical material related to Wisconsin families and their forebears.
Conducts meetings and conferences for the instruction and interest of members.
Encourages the establishment of genealogical collections in libraries throughout the state.
Works to ensure public records in Wisconsin remain open for genealogical and historical research.
