About MVGS
Mount Vernon Genealogical Society meets the third Tuesday of each month at 1 PM in Room 218 at Hollin Hall Senior Center, 1500 Shenandoah Road, Alexandria, Virginia. See map. Visitors are always welcome to attend one monthly meeting before deciding to join MVGS. Our dues for 12 months are $30 per individual and $35 for a family.
A majority of our meetings are video-taped and available to members by viewing the program on the Members Only section of the Society's website. Handouts for programs are also posted in the Members Only section.
Our MVGS Library has an extensive collection of genealogical reference books, periodicals and CDs. Along the Library'sfar wall, seven computers provide access to a variety of genealogical research sites. Of note, we are a Family Search Affiliate Library where researchers can access locked records. Researchers can download information to their own USB flash drives and we also have several printers. A conference or reading table is in the center of the room.
