The Jacksonville Genealogical Society, Inc. was organized in 1968 by twenty charter and founding members and is governed by a Council, consisting of elected Officers and Committee Chairpersons. The Society's membership meetings are held on the third Saturday of each month (except December), from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., at the Webb-Wesconnett Library, 6887 103rd Street, Jacksonville, Florida. Each meeting has a planned program or speaker and the public is welcome to attend.

The Society's primary aim is to locate and publish previously unpublished Florida records, but our Society and publications are not limited to Florida or to the Southeast.

The objectives of the Society are:

To encourage its members to find and record their family histories;
To instruct and assist genealogists in the research, analysis and interpretation of source materials; and in the preparation of such scholarly writings as will stand critical examination;
To foster the collection, preservation, research, documentation and dissemination of authentic records of materials relating to ancestral histories.
