ABOUT THE GSSB

The Genealogical Society of South Brevard (GSSB)  helps anyone interested in the study, discovery, and documentation of family history, lineage, and ancestry.  We are committed to provide literary, educational, and research opportunities, support and resources to our members and the public.  GSSB owns and operates an extensive genealogy research library in the Melbourne Public Library, where we provide monthly educational programs, workshops, seminars, and research classes. We also offer access to several subscription research websites for patrons in the Family History Room. 
 
The French & Canadian Heritage Society operates under the GSSB as a Special Interest Group. The Society also sponsors four other Special Interest Groups, including a Family History Writers group, British Isles Research group, Mayflower Society research group, and now a DNA Genetic Genealogy research special interest group.  All of these groups typically meet monthly. There is also a publishing committee that develops and produces the quarterly GSSB Bulletin. 
 
There are many benefits to membership and we invite you to become a member of GSSB.
