The Carroll County Genealogical Society President and Board would like to welcome all researchers to our website that was created with you, our members in mind and the public in pursuit of genealogical research.  We hope our presentation of information is engaging and helpful and if you are not currently a member you would consider a membership in our society.  Our informational offerings are rich and our plans are to grow as we work to improve the information and historical records offered to the general public and our membership.  Enjoy the site, explore and research. Genealogical research is rewarding and we hope that you find your experience with us positive and will return often in your research.  

  There are new and exciting technology solutions constantly being added by the various companies improving their subscription services.  Ancestry announced the permanent implementation of capabilities to their customers that were effective 1 July.  Here is a quick video link that provides highlights of these new capabilities.  CCGS is providing this link to keep our members aware of new capabilities and services for genealogical research.

 

 

 Our annual June Dinner Meeting was a great success this year, which keeps it in line with all the great dinners we have had in the past.  Wanda Barnes and her hospitality committee, comprised of Judy Wagner, Eileen Mummaugh (seated), Wanda, Ann Horvath and Mimi Ashcraft put together a wonderful event that was enjoyed by all the attendees.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our guest speaker was the Rev. Dahl Drenning.  He entertained the attendees with delightful stories and a small singing performance to close out the night.  We found ourselves quickly drawn in and participating with Rev. Drenning as he recounted past practices of our German ancestors, their customs and practices which are embedded in Carroll County lore.  It was a wonderful evening of story telling. Pictured below are Deb Hoffman who introduced our speaker and Rev. Dahl Drenning.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The CCGS team was looking to the future and we ran into a small problem while planning future events!  

  Don't forget Research Thursdays!
