Welcome to Solano County Genealogical Society!

Solano County Genealogical Society LibraryThe Solano County Genealogical Society welcomes everyone who has an interest in genealogy.
 
We are proud to offer this website as a gateway to our services, resources, programs, activities and information on our society.
 
We welcome all Members, Guests and Visitors to our website.
 
The process of creating and updating our website with the help of our handful of dedicated volunteers does take time.  Some pages are always under construction. Please visit us often to see the changes we will continue to make to improve your experience.
