What we’re about
The North Hills Genealogists is a group of people interested in genealogy and in researching their family histories. Located in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania our members have common interests in the geographic areas north of the city. Many of our members also live in that area. We publish a monthly newsletter (except for December or July), which is indexed in PERSI. It includes articles to help you find resources, tips on how to do better genealogy, announcements of upcoming genealogical events, and both member and non-member queries. Dues are $15 per year (August through the following July). Back issues of the newsletter will be sent to mid-year newcomers. Please visit www.NorthHillsGenealogists.org to download a membership form.
As well as our monthly meetings, we have six Special Interest Groups which hold regular meetings on the following topics, and which are listed on our Meetup calendar (click the links for more details on each group):
