AIGS has subscription to three major genealogy magazines: Family Tree Magazine, Internet Genealogy, and Your Genealogy Today (formerly Family Chronicle). Each are published six times a year and may be found in the Fernandina Beach branch library. Members can check out back issues with their library card and proof of AIGS membership.  Here's a glimpse of two of the latest issues, available in early March.

 

 

And here's a peek at the articles inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

For over a quarter of a century AIGS has been proud to serve both those seeking information about Amelia Island ancestors and those without local ties wishing to connect with other genealogists.

Here you’ll continue to find information on upcoming events, both local and beyond.  A newly added Forum section enhances member-to-member collaboration. If you’re new to genealogy, or would like to brush up on research skills, you might like to enroll in our annual Beginner Class, or join a project to increase your knowledge of the area. We provide an informative Nassau County Florida research guide if your ancestors are from here.

The written history of this northern-most barrier island on the Atlantic coast of Florida stretches back to the 1500’s.  That’s a lot of history!  We can’t fill in all the blanks for you, but we hope you find your digital visit informative.

 

The physical AIGS research collection, through an agreement with the Nassau County Public Library system, is housed at the Fernandina Beach branch library where it is available to the public.  If you cannot visit, a collection of online databases are searchable on this website.  They grow steadily as we uncover and document additional unpublished record sets to reach a wider audience.

If you are already a member of this active group, you are familiar with its benefits such as monthly speakers, quarterly publication (Nassau Genealogist) and the monthly newsletter (The Geneline). If you’re not already a member, we hope you consider joining us.

 

 

 

The book has been digitized and will soon be added to the Society's online collection.

If you scroll through and recognize unidentified faces, or if you have any special recollections of that evening, please drop us a line.

We'll update the collection with your notes.
