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.

Our Spring newsletter is currently available on the website under the “Newsletter” menu item at the top of this page. Look for it, read it, and give us feedback on what else you want to see!
The latest edition of Partner Zeitung, the newsletter of the International German Genealogy Partnership (IGGP), is now available for download. Previous copies of the newsletter can be found on the IGGP website (iggp.org).
It’s time to think about your 2024-25 membership!
Our membership year runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, and we will soon email current and future members to sign up for the new year. We have a great program planned out for the next program year (the list follows this paragraph). Our program funding is entirely by your dues dollars, and Ed Redmer has no other fundraisers planned. So if you want us to keep our programs at the 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 as we work to provide the best programming.
Social Media
We have a new menu item—Social Media—on the menu bar at the top of the page. It links to a new page containing links to our Facebook pages and our new Twitter account. Please feel free to click on the menu item to see what we are doing to provide content (currently, we have three different pages and one Twitter account).
Email changes:
Note: Due to some email difficulties, we have had to replace our info@miggs.org email with information@miggs.org. We are sorry 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 split out into other groupings/categories as we get more entries, but for now, those are the breakdowns. Please look under Resource List and look through the lists. If you find a bad link, report it to information@miggs.org.
