Preserving History
One person at a time...
Genealogy Research Strategy
We can get you started on your path to your past. Getting to know your ancestry is our goal & preserving it will also be our priority.
Knowing what your roots are & where they have been is important so we would like to extend a hand to help find what you have been looking for.
Helping you with your research can be acquired in many different ways. We have our forms that you can download & fill out. You can also contact us with any questions you may have.

A Little About Our Past
Betsy Gottsponer and a few others had a dream of creating a society of genealogists. In 1981, the dream started with the Genealogical Society of Yuma, Arizona (GSYA). In 1993, GSYA became an official non-profit organization set to help people reconnect with their ancestors.
