Welcome to the Cape Cod Genealogical Society
The Board of Directors of Cape Cod Genealogical Society, in consideration of the latest directive of Gov. Baker, has decided to cancel all in-person events currently scheduled. We realize that many will be disappointed, but feel that the health of our members and of the general public, warrants this decision.

We’re Celebrating 50 Years!
The countdown has begun!
August 25, 1971, Cape Cod Genealogical Society was founded by a small, but dedicated group of genealogists in Harwich, MA. The Society grew steadily, attracting members from all corners of the United States, and in recent years, from Canada. On August 25, 2021, we will begin a year long celebration of the history of our Society, and we are inviting everyone to participate with us.
Details will be coming in the months ahead,
so keep an eye on this page to learn what we have planned.
