Welcome to the Michigan Germanic Genealogical Society!
We are also in the process of sending renewal notices and new member notices to anyone who has inquired about membership. If you have not received your notice yet, you can visit the Join Us tab on the main menu, and click on Online Join to become a member or renew your membership online and pay with your credit card or PayPal. You can also use the traditional method of Join Us to print, complete, and submit it along with payment to become a member.
Our regular meeting schedule is the second Monday of September, November, March, and May at 7:30 p.m. If you would like to attend as a guest, please contact the society to request the Zoom link.

It’s time to think about your 2025-26 membership!
Our membership year runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and we will soon email current and future members to sign up for the new year. Our program funding is entirely by your dues dollars, and the organization has no other fundraisers planned. If you want to maintain our programs at a high level with national speakers, join now for the 2024-25 program year! Go to the Join Us menu above, print the application, complete it, and send your check to the address listed on the application.
Please consider joining or renewing to support our efforts in providing the best programming.
Email changes:
Note: Due to some email difficulties, we have had to replace our info@miggs.org email with information@miggs.org. We apologize for this, and we appreciate your patience. We have attempted to replace them everywhere on our website!
Resources upgrading to a Resource List
We have changed the website menu item from ‘Resources’ to ‘Resource List’. It is an alphabetical list of resources categorized into three separate categories:
- Resource Articles
- Resource Websites
- Resource Videos
These may be split into other groupings/categories as we receive more entries, but for now, those are the current breakdowns. Please refer to the Resource List and review the available options. If you find a bad link, report it to information@miggs.org.
