Why should your organisation join CIGO?

As a representative organisation, CIGO represents the several thousand individual members that comprise its constituent organisations - both in Ireland and overseas.

Since 1992, CIGO has developed a reservoir of knowledge and expertise in foreseeing, assessing and focusing upon the ongoing issues and problems facing genealogical organisations.

We have developed a wide range of contacts with relevant bodies and individuals and this enables us to easily become involved at the planning stages of projects that might impact upon genealogists.

We are always conscious of the need to increase our membership both in Ireland and overseas. Your organisation can benefit from access to this knowledge and from the opportunity to make its views known in a forum where they can have real meaning and impact.

In order to give organisations based outside of Dublin a voice at the meetings we have set up a dedicated contact point through which members’ views can be channelled. A designated member of Council will be available to liase by electronic means with a nominated member from each non-attending member organisation. This will ensure that the views of all member organisations will be heard.
