Genealogy Assistance

Available now

If you love genealogy and enjoy helping family or friends do their own family history research, the Volunteer Genealogists of the DuPage County Genealogical Society can use you!

Openings for members who would like to volunteer are available for 2023, on Thursday evenings between 7:00 and 9:00 pm at the Wheaton Public

Library. Volunteers direct clients to the sources or records they are seeking, rather than doing the actual research for them. Training is available to familiarize you with the resources available at the library, and working jointly with existing volunteers helps to familiarize you with the procedures used to assist those seeking help.

Email webcoordinator@dcgs.org and write "Attn: Library Chair" in the subject or body.
