Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Fellowship of Brethren Genealogists is open to all who wish to attend. The meeting is held during the Church of the Brethren's Annual Conference. It starts with a short business session and every even year, an election for a Vice-President, who will then succeed the President. The remainder of the scheduled meeting time is given to a presentation on a genealogical subject by a guest speaker. Here are the 2015 Minutes.

The next meeting will be 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday 28 June 2017 at the DeVos Convention Center in Grand Rapids MI. The program will be "A Renewed Vision for Brethren Roots," a powerpoint presentation by the journal's newly appointed editor, D. B. (Dave) Eller, reflecting on the mission, challenges, and opportunities for publishing genealogical and historical material related to the Brethren movement. Announcements of the meeting are posted on the Brethren list, announced on the Fellowship's Facebook page, and noted in the Quarterly Journal. Information about the Annual Conference, with which the Fellowship's meeting is associated, can be found at the Church of the Brethren's official site, Brethren.Org.

Informal meetings among Fellowship members and interested church and family historians take place at the Fellowship's exhibit booth throughout the week in the Annual Conference exhibit hall.
