Oregon Genealogical Society
    
OGS is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library 
 
The Oregon Genealogical Society Library is also a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, which means you can access online records that are not available from home at our library on one of our patron computers or by bringing your laptop to the library. Most records with a camera and triangle icon are accessible at the OGS Library, but some may only be viewable at a FamilySearch Center or the FamilySearch Library.
 
 
Volunteer Appreciation &  Annual Meeting
Saturday, April 18, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene
 
Join us for our annual meeting as we honor our volunteers. OGS is a 100% volunteer-run organization, so all of us work for free to keep it going. If not for our wonderful volunteer members and, occasionally, their spouses or other family members, we would not be able to accomplish what we have. We continually ask for help with maintaining the library, our outreach programs, meetings, classes, and various projects. We want you to know how much we appreciate all of you. The president and treasurer will deliver a brief annual report, and then we will enjoy cake and give out a few door prizes. You must be present to win.
