WHAT IS SGSI:  We are a self-help, non-profit society, composed entirely of volunteers who love family history.  The Society can bring you up to date on established information sources, as well as keep you abreast of new sources through our quarterly newsletter.  We encourage a free interchange of information among our members and try to find new and innovative ways to share our data and information.  We encourage our members to participate, to the extent they are able, in genealogical projects such as building indexes and collecting books. 

SGSI Library:  By appointment only.  It is located at the President's address in Pennsylvania.  We are actively seeking donations of Slovenian books, book swaps of duplicates with other Slovenian collections, seeking Slovenian photographs for safekeeping, etc.  Don’t know what to do with those old Slovenian books, magazines, and church jubilee books in Grandma’s attic?  Contact Al Peterlin at the SGSI Library, apeterlin@panetwork.com

SIRL (Slovenia Research List)

The SIRL offers an opportunity for all Slovenian researchers to post queries listing the surnames, place names and dates, and other details of their pedigree ancestor, and pose their questions.  The List was initially comprised of queries posted in the SGSI Newsletter.  Email submittals to the SIRL Editor, and snail mail submittals to the SGSI headquarters address, are added to the SIRL regularly.  The SIRL lists the queries with the researcher’s email address, snail mail address, or a reference number for contacting the submitter.
