The Utah Genealogical Association was formally organized on September 25, 1971, and chartered on December 1, 1971, by the State of Utah as a nonprofit educational organization. The Association’s interests are worldwide while still providing specific materials of interest relating to Utah. It is not affiliated with any religious or political organization. In addition, dozens of volunteers serve on various committees, staff booths at conferences, and work behind the scenes to assure the membership a vibrant, collegial, and enjoyable Association.

The Association publishes Crossroads, a quarterly journal of general interest in the field of genealogy and family history. The journal is sent to the general membership of the Association and is also available to the membership in an electronic edition on this website

We sponsor an annual meeting wherein outstanding service and accomplishments are recognized and awarded. Also available to members is the opportunity to participate in a monthly “virtual chapter” meeting wherein experts in various aspects of genealogy and family history make hour-long presentations on their areas of expertise. These presentations are then archived for member review and access at any time.
