The Northwest Suburban Genealogy Society has a number of active Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that serve to support Members with interests in special genealogical topics, as listed below. These groups generally meet on a monthly or quarterly schedule and have a planned program of interest to the SIG members. There are opportunities for discussion, questions, and sharing of information.
Volunteer Opportunities! We would love to form several more SIGs, but we need to recruit a leader for each group.

Roundtable SIG
This is an in-person genealogy group meeting for our local members, open to all enthusiasts of genealogy and family tree research, and is an informal forum for members to share their successes and challenges in their family history research. Beginners and friends are welcome to attend and participate.
The meeting is hosted by members of the NWSGS, which is a group that promotes the study of genealogy, conducts programs and workshops, and assists members in their family history research.
The mission of this new meeting is to provide a space for questions, answers, and discussions around genealogy.
The meeting will be held the second Wednesday of each month from 2 -3:30 PM CT and held at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library, 500 N Dunton Ave, Arlington Heights, IL in the Shackley Room.
