Welcome to the Yankee Genealogical Society!
YGS is a team of beginning and experienced genealogists based in Minnesota and searching for our roots in the northeastern states.
You’re invited to join us as we help each other find family origins, stories, history, and images in:

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.
Please help us to celebrate the Mayflower Anniversary by watching our 3 minute video tour of the voyage! -
