The Federation of Genealogical Societies was a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in January 1976[1] and headquartered in Austin, Texas. FGS links hundreds of U.S.-based genealogy societies and their members. FGS merged with the National Genealogical Society in 2020.[2]

To do this, FGS publishes FORUM magazine, filled with articles pertaining to society management and genealogical news. FGS also publishes an extensive series of "Society Strategy Papers", covering topics about effectively operating a genealogical society.

FGS sponsored an annual conference with four days of lectures, including one full day devoted to society management topics.
