History

The Irving Genealogical Society was chartered in 1991 as a non-profit Texas corporation for the purpose of promoting genealogical research. We strive to bring people together to share information and research methods. Through our award winning monthly newsletter, we try to keep members informed in all areas of research, as well as notify researchers of area workshops and seminars. Since its inception the Society has sponsored several seminars and workshops at the Irving Public Library. Proceeds from these seminars and workshops have resulted in donations of microfilm, microfiche, as well as numerous books to the library. With these additions, the Genealogy Section of Irving's library has one of the area's better census microfilm collections for libraries of its' size. Proceeds from seminars held at the Library will continue to enhance the genealogical resource collection.
