The British Interest Group of Wisconsin & Illinois (BIGWILL) is a genealogical society of individuals who are interested in their British Isles ancestry. They are dedicated to helping all members trace their ancestry in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands.
BIGWILL holds their regular meetings at The Community Church in Richmond, which is located in McHenry County, IL. Benefits of being a BIGWILL member include regular and special meetings dealing with different aspects of research in the British Isles; support and networking for all levels of researchers; a bi-monthly newsletter to keep you up-to-date on events and resources; and free entries in the BIGWILL Register, a growing database of member interests.
Additionally, BIGWILL's library collection can be found at the McHenry Public Library.
Membership and meeting information can be found on BIGWILL's website and their Facebook page. Their next meeting will take place on March 21st, when Michael Rehberg will discuss "English Settlement at Racine, Wisconsin."
ISGS is happy to count BIGWILL as one of our Member Societies!
