Welcome to the USGSMD !

The Upper Shore Genealogical Society of Maryland is celebrating its 48th year. Founded in 1973, the USGSMD is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by volunteers and covers Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Our goals are to:

Encourage all of those interested in researching their ancestral heritage and promote fellowship and cooperation.
Educate members and the public on genealogical information from the Maryland counties of Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot through meetings, seminars, workshops, and publications.
Provide a forum for sharing knowledge that individual members have acquired in their own research.
Collect, preserve, and disseminate genealogical, biographical, and historical knowledge and information.

By becoming a member of the Society you will be joining many others who share this goal while tracing their family's origins to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. You can join, or renew your membership by visiting our Membership Page

Help support the USGSMD by becoming a member, donating your time and/or making a donation.

Thank you for your support!
