Englewood Genealogical Society of Florida

Welcome to EGSFL

Genealogy and family history research is a fun and exciting journey with many rewards. Our members are at all levels of research experience - from beginner to advanced - and every level in between.
 
Meetings of our full membership are held monthly during the afternoon of the fourth Wednesday of the each month from September through May at the Elsie Quirk Library, 100 W. Dearborn St., Englewood, FL. The May, November and December meetings are on alternate dates to not conflict with holidays. Programs at these meetings are designed to meet the general research needs of all members.
 
Additionally, there are Special Interest Groups (SIGs) tailored to more specific genealogical topics.
 
Our newsletter, Timelines, is published each January, April and October with interesting research stories and tips along with news about our members and our upcoming programs.
 
The Elsie Quirk Library’s collection of research material, along with the research material for all Sarasota County libraries, can be found by searching the Sarasota County Library Systems Card Catalog. All Sarasota County libraries are FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries.
 
All meetings at the Elsie Quirk Library are open to the public per the county’s library guidelines.
 
Our society’s mailing address is P.O. Box 795, Englewood, FL  34295-0795
