SIGs and Special Programs
StLGS Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
From time to time, members of the St. Louis Genealogical Society, who share a common research interest, have established a Special Interest Group (SIG). Each group has a leader, an active member of the society, who reports group activities to the vice-president-programs.
These groups have a long history with the society. The first such group was rather informal. Called the “Kentucky Club,” its members (who shared a common interest in learning more about how to research their Kentucky ancestors) met for fourteen years from 1972 to 1986. In the mid-1980s and again from 1996 to 2005 the society hosted a Computer Interest Group.
Current Special Interest Groups
St. Louis Genealogical Society sponsors three active Special Interest Groups (SIGs): German, Irish, and Jewish. In addition, the society occasionally hosts special programs throughout the year that focus on other ethnic groups.

To Create a Special Interest Group
The society’s Board of Directors must authorize the formation of any Special Interest Group. Any member in good standing of the society may present a proposal to the board to create a Special Interest Group. This presentation should outline the objectives of the group and should demonstrate that there is sufficient interest within the membership of the society to justify its creation.
