Beyond Volunteers

If you need more in-depth research assistance beyond our complementary hour or two (or three), some of our volunteers would be willing to work with you through a mutually agreed private-pay basis.

Beyond this, if you need professional genealogist assistance, there are other paid services you can use such as through CPGC or APG.

Volunteers

Skilled MGS volunteers are available to help jump-start your family research or to help rethink your strategy or evaluate already found documents. You do not need to be a member of our society to contact a volunteer. Most of our volunteers are “from” everywhere, not just Darien or Fairfield County. They have a broad range of interests and are skilled in many research and genealogical topic areas.

If you are just starting out, have a look at our Getting Started page first. There are many online resources you can tap into to get started, and many are free. Family Search, Ancestry, Find A Grave are all indispensable.
