THE GREATER OMAHA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY is a non-profit organization whose purpose is (1) to unite those persons interested in the pursuit and study of genealogy and family history; (2) to encourage the preservation of public and private records; and (3) to promote programs of education which support the growth and development of these fields.
MEETINGS are held at 6:30 PM on the third Wednesday of each month (except July, August and December) at Nebraska Methodist College (Josie Harper Campus) 720 N. 87th Street (87th & Burt) Omaha, NE. Enter through the front door on the east side of the building. Our meetings are on the third floor.. A picnic or other activity is held at a location to be announced in the newsletter in August. In December we usually go to a restaurant for our Holiday dinner. Currently, we plan in-person meetings in September, October and November of 2022. January, February and March 2023 will all be via Zoom, then April, May and June will once again be in-person.
