The Society
The Carroll County Genealogical Society (CCGS) was founded in 1976 by twelve charter members, all residents of Carroll County Georgia. Now we have about 185 Members scattered across the United Sates. We still hold fast to our original purpose - To preserve local family and public records; evaluate and share those records with interested genealogists.
In keeping with those goals, CCGS presents monthly programs, publishes a quarterly journal, maintains close ties with our local library's Special Collection Room, and encourage members to add their family history to our collection. In the past we have sponsored many annual workshops and conducted genealogy classes for beginners, open to members and nonmembers.
Our Society has also published several books of county records, such as deed abstracts, census records, cemetery surveys, indicies to our early quarterlies, and assisted in reprinting some histories.
Membership is open to anyone interested in the subject of genealogy. The cost is $20 per year, which includes the Carroll County Genealogical Quarterly.
The Society meets on the fourth Thursday of each month, except for November and December.
