Welcome to CCGS

  The Carroll County Genealogical Society President and Board would like to welcome the many researchers to our website that was created for you, our members and the public, in pursuit of genealogical research.  Our informational offerings are rich and we continue to grow our digital content.  As we work to improve the historical records offered at our site we hope that you would join us if you are not a current member.  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.      
 

Research Thursdays
Research Thursdays are scheduled from 1-4 pm at the Westminster Library.  Please contact us at info@ccgsmd.org to schedule a time if you require CCGS Staff assistance.  We ask that if you are not feeling well, please visit us on another day.  Thank you and we hope to see you soon in the library.   
 
Volunteer Opportunities
We have many opportunities for volunteers, so if you have some time available, consider joining us. As we add to our collection and try to improve access for researchers, we have projects for all levels of skill.
 
Of course, helping researchers is rewarding. You will also get to know what is in our collection and improve your skills. We have many organizational needs, such as keeping the books on our shelves filed correctly, doing inventories, repairing resource materials and helping with events (e.g., greeting, making displays, set ups, take downs).
 
Interested? Drop us an email at info@ccgsmd.org and let us know how you would like to help.
