Welcome to the New OGS Website
Welcome to OGS’s new look. The Oklahoma Genealogical Society has implemented the new website. It adds functionality we believe will help our society assist and communicate with our members. OGS members can now login to view members-only information. We plan to add much more premium content to the members-only area, making your membership even more valuable.
Update June 17, 2017 — All current OGS members should have received an email with their temporary Login Name and Password. When you login for the first time, we strongly recommend that you choose a new login name and password. You can do that under Members Only / Profile / Member Settings tab. You can also verify and update your contact details in the member profile.
Former members, whose membership expired after January 1, 2016, should have also received an email. When you login, if your membership has expired, you will be given an opportunity to renew online.

An Invitation for Settlers & Builders of Oklahoma
The
Settlers and Builders of Oklahoma, under the jurisdiction of the
Oklahoma Genealogical Society, was founded to recognize, honor, and perpetuate the memory of the residents that helped build the new State of Oklahoma from statehood, 16 Nov 1907 through 31 Dec 1929.
Note: Anyone that resided in the Twin Territories prior to statehood is also eligible for the OGS First Families of the Twin Territories Lifetime Membership. You can nominate anyone you believe should be honored for their contribution(s) to the settling and/or building of Oklahoma.

OK2Explore Vital Records
For genealogists, knowing when someone was born or died can help determine whether or not you have the right person. The new vital records index includes death records occurring more than 5 years ago and birth records occurring more than 20 years ago. In 2016, the Oklahoma legislature passed legislation that now allows full death records to be public after 50 years and birth records to be public after 125 years. The Oklahoma Genealogical Society thanks Kelly Baker, OSDH Registrar of Vital Records for her leadership of this project which was delivered six months ahead of schedule.
