Welcome To The CCGS Website!

  The Carroll County Genealogical Society President and Board would like to welcome the many researchers to our website that was created for you, our members and the public in pursuit of genealogical research.  Our informational offerings are rich and we continue to grow our digital content.  As we work to improve the historical records offered at our site we hope that you would join us if you are not a current member.  Enjoy the site, explore and research. Genealogical research is rewarding and we hope that you find your experience with us positive and will return often in your research.

Research Thursdays
 
  Research Thursdays are scheduled from 1-4 pm.  Please contact us at info@ccgsmd.org to schedule a time if you require CCGS Staff assistance.  We ask that if you are not feeling well, please visit us on another day.  Thank you and we hope to see you soon in the library.   
 
Maryland Archive Links
 
Did you know that CCGS via the website provides quick links into the Maryland Archives?  Check the menu bar on the left, under CCGS Collections for the link to the Maryland Archives.  We have recently added a link for Md Death Certificates by counties, 1910-1923.  As Maryland Archives adds new data it is there for you!
 
Would you like to Volunteer? 
 
  You have time in your schedule and you would like to volunteer at the local genealogical society.  The Carroll County Genealogical Society is looking for you!  We have opportunities for you to lend your genealogy expertise to help others.  As the Society reengages with the community and we are scheduling more events we could use an extra hand or two for a couple of hours.  Interested? Drop us an email at info@ccgsmd.org and let us know how you would like to help, or how you can help us engage with the community.
