The Western New York Genealogical Society, Inc. (WNYGS) is a small, nonprofit organization based in Hamburg, New York, founded in 1974 to support the study and preservation of the region’s genealogical heritage. Its focus covers eight Western New York counties that were part of the Holland Land Company Purchase, with activities aimed at advancing genealogical research, promoting awareness of record preservation by government bodies, and collecting and safeguarding records related to early settlers in the area. The society serves individuals interested in genealogy and local history, including academics and researchers, by fostering access to historical records and encouraging preservation practices across government agencies, organizations, and the public. While the organization operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, its work centers on historical research and heritage preservation rather than commercial services.
