Notice to the

Genealogy Community

in Grants Pass

After 55 years as a genealogy group, we have decided to close at the end of December 2023.This was not an easy decision but the board of directors could find no one to serve as elected officers for 2024-2026.

This website will continue to remain visible and all archived newsletters will be available in about 2 months. They contain the history of our group since 2000. Please enjoy the photos from past events and some new ones being added soon.

Please visit the facebook site which has been archived and viewable. It has information from newsletters and many posts of interest. 

Thank you to the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society board of directors who have offered one-year membership to all our members at no charge. For information call 541.512.2340 

The Family Search Center located at 1969 Williams Hwy (on the west side of the building) in Grants Pass is open and volunteers are available to assist with your family history questions. Call 541.476.1926. We thank the LDS Church leadership for providing a room for meetings and workshops.

A 2024 scholarship was funded and a selection committee formed to choose a local senior for the last Grants Pass Genealogical Society scholarship. The winner will be announced in June 2024. Our thanks to the Redwood Education Foundation for assistance with annual scholarship.

To all who are or were members for 55 years in Grants Pass...you have seen many changes in how the "science" of genealogy has progressed in the last few years. It's hoped you are able to find that elusive family member and get over your brick wall. Happy hunting.
