Mission Statement

The purpose of the Slovenian Genealogy Society International, Inc. is to enrich the lives of individuals with Slovenian ancestry by helping them forge a link to their past.

SGSI is a self-help community whose common goal is to help members make use of available information to perform their own genealogy research

We Do This By. . .

Providing a forum to help individuals discover, research, and exchange genealogy information.

Preserving Slovenian genealogy records, publications, and oral histories in our dedicated Cleveland, Ohio office—the Macek Research Center.

Building a community where personal stories and experiences specific to the culture of Slovenia can be shared.
