The Cape Cod Genealogical Society STORE is open.
Take a look at our menu bar and you’ll see a new feature: the CCGS Store.
If you are Member of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society, you already have access to our publication The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society through your membership fee. Members may access all past issues of the Journal through the Member Portal/Publications.
We are now opening up the Journal to the public at large. At a cost of $10 per issue, we will send you, by email, a PDF of the issue(s) of your choice. Begun in 2011, The Journal is published in the Spring and Fall each year, and offers you an array of scholarly articles of genealogical and historical interest, book reviews, research techniques, and reports of genealogical discoveries.
Click on CCGS Store in the menu tab and see a listing of the Journal issues available. A complete Table of Contents is available to search by name or topic, using Control F or Command F.
