About Us

The Wake County Genealogical Society (WCGS) was organized in April of 1982 to promote genealogical study and research; serve as a medium for the exchange of genealogical or historical information; encourage the preservation of genealogical or historical records; and provide cultural, educational, and social opportunities involving genealogy.

Fourth Tuesday

WCGS meets the fourth Tuesday of each month, except in November and December. Those meetings are combined into one meeting on the first Tuesday in December to avoid conflicts with the holidays.

Virtual Meetings

WCGS general meetings are held virtually via Zoom. We also host quarterly “Meetups” around Wake County to give us an opportunity for face-to-face fellowship and discussion.

Upcoming Events
