Due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, all VCGS in-person events have been cancelled for the month of April. We plan to reevaluate the situation for May closer to that time. We will not hold our General Meeting and lecture on April 18, nor will we hold Wednesday class meetings, breakouts or Special Interest Group meetings until circumstances improve. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we want to be considerate of the health of our members and the public at large.
VCGS lists events for other genealogical societies on our web site but we may not have received notification of cancellations. In this time of uncertainty we urge you to check with those societies before attending their events.

Reference Library
Ventura County Genealogical Society provides full maintenance and development of the Genealogy Collection housed within the Camarillo City Library (upper level), 4101 Las Posas Road, Camarillo, California. You can access the catalog using the Library choice on the left-side menu. Library volunteers are regularly scheduled to help you use the collection, answer genealogy questions, or get you started with genealogy.
Get Involved!
All VCGS activities are brought to life by the hard work of our volunteers. Society elections are held each year in November, and vacancies on the VCGS board are filled as needed. If you would like to volunteer your assistance, please contact the president.
