Histoire administrative

The West Elgin Genealogical and Historical Society was formed in the late 1970's by a group of interested people in Western Elgin County. The aim of the Society is to exchange information between members on local genealogy and history, provide assistance to people researching family ties and history in Western Elgin, and to promote knowledge of the history of Western Elgin to the general public.

Over the last 40 years the WEGHS has accumulated a significant archive of information related to local history and genealogy. A book on the Early History of Dunwich Township has been published and sold by the Society. In addition, transcripts of local cemetery stones have been made by Society members and copies are sold by the Society.
