Societies and Libraries
The Lee County Genealogical Sociey, Inc. assists anyone with an interest in tracing their "roots". We help beginners get started and guide them in their family research. We welcome experienced genealogists and encourage them to share their knowledge with others. We learn from and teach each other in small and large group meetings.

Our members have come from many parts of the United States to beautiful Lee County in Southwst Florida. We are from a wide variety of occupations and our age range is broad. What brings and keeps us together is our interest in family history. As we share our knowledge, our research skills grow and so do our family trees.

Please explore our website. Check our Events calendar to see what’s happening in our Society, other Southwest Florida Societies, and where you can find local and national genealogy classes, workshops and seminars. Use our searchale database for the Genealogy Department Shelf List at the Fort Myers-Lee County Public Library, 2050 Central Avenue, Fort Myers, Florida, which is presented as a service to library patrons and to distant researchers.
