Great Coat of Arms of the Republic of Czechoslovakia (1920)
Czechoslovak Area Genealogy Club

      The Czechoslovak Area Genealogy Club (CAGC) is a non-profit, volunteer organization, dedicated to genealogical research of peoples of the geographical area formerly known as Czechoslovakia. This includes Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Sudetenlands, Slovakia and Ruthenia (Sub-Carpathian Russia). CAGC encourages cooperative research, but does not provide professional (for fee) research services. The club meets in Southern California.

      Meetings are held the first Sunday of the following months: February, April, June, August, October and December, at 1:30 pm for lunch at the Jagerhaus Restaurant, 2525 East Ball Road, Anaheim, California 92806 (on Ball Road west of the 57 Fwy.)

We hope to see you all at future meetings. If you decide to attend a meeting please be prepared to tell us a little bit about yourself and what surnames and ancestral villages you are researching. If you aren't doing any research but just want to meet some very nice people from the Czech and Slovak lands come to the meetings anyway! We try to make the programs fun and interesting for everyone.

We support the Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International (CGSI). Visit them at www.cgsi.org.
