Also known as SIGs, these "member only" specialized groups were created to assist members with their genealogy efforts. Most groups meet monthly at Banner–University Medical Center in conference rooms just off the cafeteria. Meetings usually last about two hours, however, you should check the PCGS Calendar listing for the most up-to-date meeting day/time/location.
SIG meetings are informal and provide a great way to share genealogy research techniques and ask questions. If you have an interest in a particular area of genealogy that you feel should have a SIG, please let us know.
Wi-fi is available in the meeting rooms and parking is free. If you need more information about any SIG, contact us at: help@azpimagensoc.org.
