Welcome to EGSF
Researching our family history is a fun and exciting journey with many rewards. Members of Englewood Genealogical Society of Florida, Inc. (EGSF) are at different levels of research, from the beginner to the advanced. Our meetings are held at Elsie Quirk Library (EQL) located at 100 W. Dearborn Street, Englewood, FL. To help with our research, there are monthly meetings, September through May and eight Special Interest Groups. Timelines, our newsletter, is published quarterly with a lot of great research information for our members.
Monthly meeting topics are designed to meet the research needs of the all members and guests. Special Interest Groups are small groups designed to assist members in specialized research areas.
Our library has a wonderful collection of research materials for genealogists and is located on the 2nd floor near our meeting room. EQL is a satelite of the Family History Center. There also is available a reader machine for reading microfilm ordered from the Family History Center.
Meetings are open to the public.

DEEDS: AN INSIDER'S VIEW
1:30 pm to 3:30 pm - Elsie Quirk Library, 2nd floor
Presented by Susan Well
Discover what information to expect from a deed, how to extract the relevant facts from the unfamiliar wording and how to interpret the land description. If there was a time lapse camera inside a land records office, it would show a rhythm to the days and weeks, and seasonality to the year.
Susan has twenty-five years experience in real estate sales and appraisal, and she is ready to share how genealogists can use the nature of these registries to our advantage. Better than an in-person visit may be the online sites to retrieve documents.
