Dobrodošli, Welcome!  to the "Members" section of the Slovenian Genealogy Society International, Inc. website.   SGSI offers members the opportunity to expand your genealogy research by providing a community driven platform for posting queries and sharing research resources.  In addition, members can become involved in exploring and understanding their Slovenian culture through group participation. The "Research" tab offers a wide selection of genealogy tools to assist you in your research.  The "Slovenian Letter Writing Guides" are particularly helpful in providing a draft letter in the Slovenian language for requesting birth, marriage, or death records at the Archbishopric Archives in Slovenia.   Another valuable tool is the "Digitized Indices" which include the Surname, Koledar, Misli Surname, Narodni Adresar, and Novi Svet indexes.  Resource links for professional language translation and genealogical research services are also available. 

SGSI has several active chapters.  We encourage you to enter the "Chapters" tab and locate a chapter close to you.   Attending a local meeting offers many advantages in genealogy research.  The strength of chapter membership is in the collaboration of local groups enabling mutual assistance in research and the ability to accomplish larger special projects, such as the Oral History Preservation Project. 

The Linden Tree is published quarterly by SGSI and contains articles of genealogy research information, member stories, and updates on the Society's growth and direction.  Current issues and all archived copies dating back to 1987 are available under the "Newsletter" tab. 

Looking for a message board to post research queries?  "Forums" is a popular medium for tapping into the knowledge shared by other members. Check out the many groups currently set up.   These groups include:  General Research, Slovene Foods, Slovene Culture, Cemetery Research, Slovene Music, Slovene Language, Family Stories and Resources.
