Member Benefits

CAGGNI today

CAGGNI is a vibrant genealogy group with nearly 200 active members. Most are amateur genealogists, some are professional genealogists, and many are just getting started in family history research. Our common thread is an enthusiasm for genealogy.  We welcome you to join us!

Programs

CAGGNI hosts Membership Programs on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 10:30 a.m., usually at the Schaumburg Township District Library in Schaumburg, IL, except in December. Special Interest Groups (SIGS) are scheduled for most 2nd Saturdays throughout the year.

CAGGNI‘s programs cover a wide range of genealogical topics, often with a focus on using technology to foster research. Our Membership Programs are a great way to enhance your genealogy skills and to meet with others who share a common interest. A sampling of recent Membership Programs includes:
