Listing of Elected Officers
The Downstate Delaware Genealogical Society was incorporated in 1999. That fall, officers were elected, and the DDGS was born. The Officers are elected each year at the annual meeting in June.
Thank you to all of our volunteer members who have served and will serve as officers in the DDGS!
