Cape Cod Genealogical Society Bulletin

CCGS BulletinThe Bulletin is the official print publication of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society. Published originally in 1975 as the Quarterly, the name was changed in 1977 to the Bulletin. It has been in print continuously on a regular basis, and currently three issues are published during the year in April, August and December.

The Bulletin focuses on the genealogy of Cape Cod and related research. Many of the articles contain records and sources that are not available in any other publications. Articles include short genealogies; census, land and probate records; birth, death and marriage records; member success stories; articles on the many aspects of genealogical research; book reviews; summaries of holdings of Cape Cod genealogical libraries and historical societies; short histories; and articles of humor and general interest to the Cape Cod researcher.

Bulletin CD

Bulletin CDThe Bulletin CD contains every word, picture, map and diagram from each issue of the Bulletin, starting with its very first issue as the Quarterly in October 1975, and extending through the Fall 2008 (Issue 113).

Each issue has been scanned into a searchable PDF file and is thus "every-word searchable." The CD is available for use or purchase in the CCGS Genealogy Room. It can also be purchased through the CCGS Shop.

Printed copies of the Bulletin are available for research or purchase in the CCGS Genealogy Room.

Articles dealing with Cape Cod or with genealogical research, methods and techniques are welcome. For information regarding article submission, please email Herb Skelley at forbears@comcast.net.

A subscription to the Bulletin is included in each member's annual dues.
