July 27, 2010 The Centre County Genealogical Society The Centre County Genealogical Society began life as the Central PA Genealogical Society and Library. It evolved out of an adult education class on genealogy taught in 1975. Today, the society is “holding its own” with membership, says president Nancy Stover and is active in both educational programs and the publication of cemetery books, vital records indexes, and early land maps. Though it has no “brick-and-mortar” home, the CCGS holds regular programs at the Quaker Retirement Community. This relationship proved quite valuable during a recent Depression Era program when several of the home’s residents added personal commentary to the discussion. Another partner, the Centre County Historical Society, presented CCGS with an Historical Preservation Award for its work in restoring and re-dedicating a little known 1780-era cemetery. While the society may not operate its own library, the area is still rich in genealogical research repositories. The Centre County Library’s Pennsylvania Room houses more than 3,000 volumes, original Centre County records, and historical newspapers. Genealogical study can also be conducted at the Pattee-Paterno Library on Penn State’s University Park campus, and in the State College branch facility of the Mormon Family History Library. Ms. Stover reports that shows like Ancestry.com’s Who Do You Think You Are? have definitely sparked interest. “We got three new memberships the first week after the original show.” Social networking efforts on Facebook have also attracted new members. Basic membership in the society is $18. This includes a quarterly newsletter and discounts on the society’s books and CDs. PayPal and checks are accepted. On August 29th the society will be participating in the Annual Family Heritage Afternoon at the Grange Fair in Centre Hall. In September the society will once again conduct its Genealogy 101 classes.
