HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Welcome guests and members! Our meetings are open to all those who have an interest in genealogy. We also invite you to subscribe to our email lists and participate in online discussion groups hosted on Groups.io. You can ask questions, give feedback, and share with others on topics that may be of interest to the genealogical community. Our informal special interest groups usually meet online once a month and also offer discussion groups on specific topics. Find an interest group by clicking on "Areas of Interest" in the navigation bar.

Subscribe to SKCGS Email Lists
EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION - FREE
Groups.io is an email group service used by SKCGS to communicate and share information with members, guests and anyone interested in genealogy.
If you remember Yahoo Groups or RootsWeb mailing lists, Groups.io is very similar. Subscribers can send and receive messages via email or online using the web interface. When people subscribe, their email address is added to the list and then, when anyone who is subscribed sends a message to the main email address, a copy of that message goes out to each person on the list. You can control how much email you receive.
SKCGS meetings and events are publicized on Groups.io calendars which send reminders containing online meeting links to subscribers.
