If you need to know anything about Genealogy in the "Last Frontier" you've come to the right place. We are a small but dedicated group, the "Frozen Chosen" of Genealogists this close to the Arctic Circle. We hold monthly meetings, produce monthly Society Newsletters.
We also hold an informative Annual Seminar each April. Guest speakers such as William Dollarhide and Henry Z “Hank” Jones, Jr., FASG, were recent Lecturer's. Our guest speaker for 2010 is Pat Richley aka "Dear MYRTLE"
You can find information on Meetings and Events on our calendar pages (including future schedules). The current years’ Newsletters in PDF format can be found on our Publications Page, where you will also find links to past Quarterly's and Newsletters that have been Archived. A listing of the members of the Executive Board and how you can contact them.
In addition you can find some helpful information on available resources for doing genealogical research in Alaska. You may be surprised to learn that we have a branch of the National Archives here and our Genealogical section in the Loussac Library is reported as being one of the best.
Our goals are to educate anyone who is doing genealogical research, whether a member of our society or just someone that needs help locating information. And to make sure that anyone who has an interest in their family history, is able to utilize all the resources we have able to access to make that task as easy as possible.
We hope that you find everything that you need here and if not or if you have any questions, suggestions, or "fixes" let us know.
