Best Genealogist Burbank Near Me

4worldlovers:
The Immigrant Genealogical Society (IGS) was founded in 1982 to help Americans trace their ancestors’ origins, particularly in the German speaking areas of Europe and the places in the world to which they migrated. Read our history.


Some of the ways that IGS continues to serve researchers in the Greater Los Angeles area, and worldwide are:


Maintains the Immigrant Library in Burbank, CA which is open to the public for genealogical research.


Invites members to join in the informal Second Sunday gatherings to discuss genealogical topics of interest.


Holds periodic events and workshops to explore diverse genealogical research topics.


Located in Burbank, CA, the Immigrant Library serves as the IGS headquarters, whose members are dedicated to researching their German-American ancestry.

Volunteers make information from resources in the Immigrant Library available to researchers worldwide, who are not able to visit the library in person.

IGS holds monthly virtual Second Sunday meetings, annual membership meetings, and periodically sponsors educational workshops and events.

Thinking of becoming a member? Your membership entitles your free use of the Immigrant Library, a monthly newsletter full of the latest highlights of news from the genealogy world, and discounted access to our remote look-up services and some events.

Being a member of IGS is being a member of a community to support you in your quest to find your German ancestors. Join other members online in our Second Sunday meetings for tips and advice, or just to chat.

IGS has teamed up with our partner societies to help connect German genealogical researchers worldwide.
