Welcome to the Yankee Interest Group!

Our interest group is part of the Minnesota Genealogical Society (MGS), based in Mendota Heights near the MSP International airport. We are a team of beginning and experienced genealogists searching for our roots in the northeastern states. All MGS members are invited to join us as part of their MGS membership: in your member profile on the MGS website click on the Yankee box to request more information.
We share a determination to find family origins, stories, history, and images in:

New England states:
- Maine
- New Hampshire
- Vermont
- Massachusetts
- Connecticut
- Rhode Island
|
Neighboring states:
- Delaware
- New Jersey
- New York

Our interests range from the recent past to the Mayflower and beyond. We collaborate and share our experiences and resources to help all of our members find their roots in the northeastern United States.
You join MGS and select the Yankee IG in your online member profile on the
MGS website to learn more about us. The Yankee collection in the Hoffman Research Library is available to support your efforts.
The Yankee IG offers:
- free quarterly meetings. See the events listing in the right sidebar. These were traditionally held at the Minnesota Genealogy Center (MGC) near the MSP airport, but may be virtual events when travel can be challenging.
- a quarterly newsletter with research updates and sources.
- Yankee resources by state, including subscription websites and books, in the William J. Hoffman Library and Research Center at the MGC in Mendota Heights. See Research Center in the left sidebar.
- a shared listing of surnames that our members are researching.
Take some time to explore our site and learn how the Yankee Interest Group can help your research!
