Tallahassee Genealogical Society

Founded out of a need to organize an interest group of local amateur and professional genealogists, Cliff Burkhart and a group of 80 charter members started the Tallahassee Genealogical Society in 1981. An important milestone for the Society was its first published book, Surname Index, published in 1987. This was a compilation of surnames submitted by members of the Society used both as an aid to other researchers and a way of connecting researchers with common family interests. The Society has undertaken several projects that benefited the local genealogical community. Two of the Society's signature annual programs are the Spring Seminars and the Fall Workshops. A major focus of the Society after 2000 has been undertaking group projects that are more personal in nature. Two of their most recent programs, the Family History Expo and the Leon County Heritage Book Project, reflect these changes.
