As of April 2020, the New England Historic Genealogical Society has created a database of Vermont Genealogy, up to the issues of the past 5 years. This database is also accessible to GSV members - click on the "GSV Members" button (and enter your membership number and name).

 


Note, we now have the ability to accept payment for membership renewal and donations by Paypal. Please use the "Membership Form" link under "Membership Information."


The Fall 2023 issue (vol 28 # 2) of Vermont Genealogy has recently been mailed to current members. Unfortunately, the address file was messed up so has incorrect member numbers and expiration dates. If you don't remember your membership number, please email the address at the bottom of the page. And if you didn't receive it, and think you should have, please email.


Check out our Queries page and see if you can help anyone! (There is a new query October 2024)

Vermont Vital Records 1909-2008

Ancestry.com now has Vermont Vital Records from 1909-2008 available. This is a great new resource, especially for our members living far away from Vermont. The database includes births, marriages and deaths, and includes the images that would be seen if you had access to the microfilmed records at Vermont Archives. For those who have researched at Vermont Archives, you know of the frustrations of trying to decipher poor microfilm images. The records have all been digitized and should be much easier to view.
