Whether you are a certified, seasoned, genealogist with enough verified entries in your tree to fill a small city, or a brand new genealogist with a fresh set of DNA results and 12 persons in your nascent tree that you started last Monday, or a founding HCGS member from 1976, we welcome you enthusiastically to our group of family historians and this, our site, where we hang out and feed each others’ passion for family history. If you are an expert, we aspire to your level of knowledge and expertise. If you are a newbie genealogist, we’ve been there and we’re glad to help you out. So, join us, won’t you? We guarantee you’ll learn something new that will help you out, maybe today, maybe years from now! Even the best genies are still learning and the newbies teach us things we never thought of. And we are sure that there is something right here on this site, that will help your search, put a crack in one of your brick walls, show you something new, or teach us all a thing or two.
