A Welcome Message from the President

To our Community of Friends of Genealogy and History:     

This year, 2023, marks the 47th year of CCGSI. This is the official website of the Charlotte County Genealogical Society, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation serving Southwest Florida. The website is your gateway to a treasure trove of resources. Our purpose is to promote an understanding of resources and community awareness to reach the end result of discovery, development and sharing of family histories.

We offer programs and classes at the Punta Gorda Charlotte Library at 401 Shreve Street in Punta Gorda. 

Can’t get to a library? CCGSI offers workshops, weekly classes, monthly programs and a monthly newsletter. Most events take place in person and online using Zoom, for those who cannot attend or are not local. Details can be found on our website under Classes and Events. Check us out on Facebook at https://facebook.com/CCGSI.

Monthly meetings are offered on the third Wednesday of every month except July and August. Gathering together affords us all the opportunity to share, discuss, ask questions. Members receive the monthly newsletter, the Geneagram, with tips, resource, articles, events and member information.


We invite you to join our Society or attend a meeting as a guest. This website includes a link to make it easy to join.

Wishing you the best of success,

Dottie Baugh, President
