Welcome to VBGS!

Based in Virginia Beach, VA - we are a group of genealogists (from beginners to professionals) ​​helping each other learn and grow in their genealogical journey.

We are an active community where all are welcome. Monthly Meetings are open to all, while the following are for members only: four special interest groups, a book group, social activities, and research trips. Most meetings are hybrid or on Zoom only, making it easy to participate from wherever you are. 

Join us for the next Monthly Meeting:

We may be approaching the end of the 2024-2025 membership year but the fun continues. T-shirts will be on order soon and name tags are back in stock. We also have a new VBGS member badge you can put on your social media, website, blog, etc. and the Social Committee will be planning a few outings over July and August, when we don't have meetings.
