Welcome!
The Manitoba Genealogical Society Inc. (MGS) is a non-profit organization formed in 1976 and incorporated in 1982. The Society promotes and encourages an interest in genealogy and family history in Manitoba. The main objectives of MGS are:
- To collect and preserve local genealogical and historical records and materials.
- To foster education in genealogical research through Society workshops and seminars.
- To encourage production of genealogical materials relating especially to Manitoba.
Every year more and more people are discovering the excitement and interest of tracing their family history. It is always best to start with what your relatives can tell you from their memories. After that the public records, which every year are becoming more accessible, can be used to trace the generations further back, often over hundreds of years. The MGS can help you in getting started with this fascinating pastime.
