THE
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF
ROCKINGHAM & STOKES COUNTIES
OF NORTH CAROLINA
Welcome to the Genealogical Society of Rockingham & Stokes
Counties of North Carolina. This site is up to date information on our
regular quarterly meetings and swap meetings that are in the Spring and
Fall. They are free and open to the public.
Please check back often, the information on this page will change as our
meeting times occur through out the year.
                       
Our Swap Meetings are a great opportunity to both share your research
and hopefully resolve some of your brick walls. We always have a
wonderful time. So bring your family research, photos and other materials
to share with others, and spend the day. We would like for you to make a
family tree (pedigree) sheet to put out on the table so everyone can see
who is researching which families. A copying machine will be available for
your use (10 cents per copy to help deter cost.) Refreshments will be
provided.
