The African-American Genealogical Society, Cleveland, Ohio (AAGS) meets monthly on the fourth Saturday of the month. Recently, we have returned to in-person meetings in the Shaker Public Library. All members can be accommodated, as our meetings are hybrid. Come in person, if you are local, or if you prefer, meet with us via Zoom. Members receive notice of all meetings. Visitors may attend in person or request the Zoom link from our president by emailing
president@aagsclev.org.
Meetings begin at 10:00am EST with social time. 10:20am – 10:30am is reserved for society announcements. The speaker usually begins their presentation around 10:35am.
