Columbine Genealogical & Historical Society

Beginning in 1973, Columbine Genealogical and Historical Society offered genealogists in the suburbs of South Denver a place to gather during the day on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of each month to learn about genealogy and share information that would be helpful in their personal quests for family history. Mind you, this was before the days of personal computers in every home and internet connections on cell phones! Columbine is unique and fills many needs. As the name implies, the focus combines genealogy research with its many ties to history. This allows a broader context for study, learning and research. Columbine continues to go strong, offering daytime meetings in a friendly, casual, congenial atmosphere with interesting, instructive and informative classes and programs. Now, we are experiencing a new wave of interest in family history with ready access to Ancestry.com on the internet, and popular television shows such as "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Finding Your Roots. These shows provide enough information to let family historians know that they should seek out more information and improve their skills. We make every effort to share our knowledge while encouraging high ethical standards in research and distribution of information. Browse through our web site and see what we are all about. If you are in the Denver area, we hope you will attend one of our meetings.
