The Rhode Island Genealogical Society was begun in 1975 by a small group of individuals interested specifically in Rhode Island Families and the problems
inherent in tracing them. Since then, we have grown to include about 900 members from across the United States, Canada and Mexico, all working to uncover our Rhode Island roots.The Society publishes a quarterly named for that pursuit. Rhode Island Roots features many Rhode Island records, such as cemetery and tax lists,
General Assembly petitions, civil and military records, and genealogical articles -- all focusing on Rhode Island families. Other features include articles about Rhode Islanders in other state census records, queries
and our list of RI research volunteers.Each year the Society holds two workshops, two lectures, and our Annual Meeting in May. The workshops and lectures held throughout Rhode Island bring stronger
focus to local subjects and/or families concentrated in certain areas of the state. Recordings of lectures presented to the Society are usually available to members for purchase. |
