Swedish Genealogical Society of Colorado
About Swedish Genealogical Society of Colorado
The Swedish Genealogical Society of Colorado (SGSC) is a family history organization founded in April 2007 by descendants of Swedish immigrants. Some of our members have descended from Swedish ancestors who settled in Colorado; others are descendants of Swedish ancestors who settled in other parts of North America.
Since our founding by this small group of intrepid enthusiasts, we have grown to 100+ members.
The purpose of the SGSC is to assist members in their genealogical research by:
- Encouraging the pursuit and preservation of Swedish-American family research;
- Collecting, sharing, and disseminating knowledge related to Swedish genealogy, including locating, preserving and indexing public and private genealogical records;
- Sponsoring events related to Swedish culture, and genealogical research resources and methodologies;
- Publishing materials that aid research of Swedish ancestry with a focus on immigrants and descendants living in the State of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region;
- Collaborating with and supporting other genealogical and cultural organizations, and libraries for the benefit of members and the general public; and
- Instructing members in genealogical research through careful documentation and the maintenance of quality genealogical standards.
