The LCGS Speakers Bureau is provided as a service by the Lee County Genealogical Society. As part of our service, we list the names of LCGS members who may be available to local Florida genealogy societies and other organizations, as a speaker for an upcoming meeting or special event. Additional information about lecture topics are shown below.  Lecture times can be tailored to meet your organization's needs.

It is the responsibility of the interested genealogy society or organization and the speaker to make arrangements and discuss any relevant fees.
