The Northeast Washington Genealogical Society was organized in September 1981 as a way of sharing genealogical expertise with each other and to assist those living out of our area with research in Stevens, Ferry and Pend Oreille counties.  We currently number about 60 members.   The Society hopes to stimulate and encourage interest in genealogical research; to build a genealogical collection in the Colville Public Library; and to sponsor seminars, workshops and classes for anyone interested in pursuing their family history.  NeWGS helps to preserve local history and records, and keeps its members informed and up-to-date on genealogical news.  A quarterly publication ("Pioneer Branches") is distributed to our  members in October, January, April and July.

Our current officers are:  
Susan Dechant, President
Sally Thomas, Vice President
Sue Witham, Treasurer
Sharon Wilson, Recording Secretary
Irene Thompson, Corresponding Secretary
Jan McLain, Member at Large

Current committee chairs are:
Quarterly Editor - Doris Winskie
