The Sussex County Genealogy Society (SCGS) is committed to promoting family research. As part of our mission various members facilitate ongoing discussion groups and special interest groups. Our groups are open to anyone interested in genealogy and you do not need to be a member of SCGS to participate. Of course we would be delighted if after attending some of our groups you decide to become a member. Our annual dues are $25 for an individual or $30 for a household of two or more individuals. Dues are used to support the activities of the organization, primarily our educational and outreach activities.
