Welcome

The Southern Genealogist's Exchange Society (SGES) is a non-profit genealogy society in Jacksonville, FL, providing information and resources for genealogists since 1964. Members and non-members alike are always welcome and encouraged to browse through the over 6,000 books, periodicals  and quarterlies published by other genealogical organizations.  


We also have many volumes covering special subjects like Revolutionary War Soldiers, Civil War soldiers, and the Great Puritan Migration, all within the SGES library. These resources cover the United States as well a some foreign countries. Many family ancestry's records have also been documented and placed within our library.

NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY

BY Georgia Pribanic, Librarian, SGES  

The National Genealogy Society website writes that the National Genealogical Quarterly (NGSQ) is a scholarly journal that publishes material concerning all US regions and all ethnic groups. It includes compiled genealogies, case studies, essays on new methodology and little-known resources, critical review of current books, and previously unpublished source materials. The SGES Library has many issues from 1957 to the current issue of this helpful title along with many paper indexes. In fact, SGES has more issues than the Public Library. This is a rich source and essential title available for your use in your study of genealogy. Come on down!
