Searching for your Hispanic Ancestors, join our society and find out how with our help!

Our Hispanic Genealogical Society was formed to help foster knowledge, training, help and pride in the search of our ancestors.

Monthly business meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 7p.m. to 8p.m. at the: Loma Linda Mexican Restaurant on 2111 Telephone Rd, Houston, TX 77023 • (713) 924-6074.

Various projects for the coming month are discussed, we have a show and tell session, and a speaker usually has a message on Genealogy for the society. We offer help to new members searching for their ancestors but the biggest advantage is the networking effort within our group and the various Hispanic genealogical groups in Texas, California, Northern Mexico and now with the internet members from around the world. We started in 1981 with about 20 members and now with the advent of the Internet we have grown to around 300 members world wide. There are members from as far away as Homer, Alaska to the north; San Juan, Puerto Rico to the east; San Francisco, California to the west; and Mexico City, DF, Mexico to the south.

Funds raised though conventions, memberships, and book sales go to purchase Hispanic Genealogy books, data bases and are donated to the Clayton Library for Genealogical Research, here in Houston, Texas.
