The Ontario Genealogical Society has, at present, four Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
A
SIG is a permanent group of OGS Members with an interest in some other topic,
such as a geographic location outside Ontario (e.g. immigrants from a
particular country), an ethnic or cultural group (e.g. natives or a particular
fraternal organization), or an event (e.g. a particular emigration scheme).
Currently,
the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are
