CNYGS was formed in 1961 for the purpose of preserving, publishing and sharing genealogical information and resources.

To that end we have added the following information and resources to this module.

Helpful Links

We have posted almost 200 links covering 25 different genealogical categories to help with your research.

Queries

You can submit a query of 50 words or less to our web contact form requesting information on a long lost relative. Your query will be posted to this site as soon as possible.

Research

Members have shared their research with CNYGS. These abstracts and transcriptions come out of personal research and interest and benefit all of us. We encourage members to continue to submit their quality research. Submit your research through our web contact form.

Blogs

Have you ever thought your research might make a good story, or thought you would like to share something you learned, but weren't ready to submit an article to a journal or magazine? If so, a blog article might be the perfect way to dip your big toe in the publishing pool. As a member, you are encouraged to submit one to two page articles for publication on the blog. Our blog editing staff will proofread your article and reserves the right to makecorrections to spelling and grammer. If the article you submit is quite lengthy, we might suggest breaking it up into more than one blog article. Please remember that, as a volunteer organization, we cannot pay you for your articles. You will, however, retain copyright of your material and are free to submit it for publication elsewhere. Authors are also welcome to include photographs in their article, but please make sure that you have the right to reproduce the image, as we cannot be held responsible for any copyright infringement.

In the blog module below we have posted several examples of blogs submitted by members.

We have also posted The History of the Central New York Genealogical Society on its 50th anniversary in 2011.

To submit an article for publication, please use the Web Contact Form which can be found in our Contact module.
