American-French Genealogical Society

The American-French Genealogical Society (AFGS) was established in 1978 as a genealogical and historical organization for French-Canadian research. It was founded by members of the Le Foyer Club in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, United States.[1][2] Its headquarters are in nearby Woonsocket, Rhode Island.[3] Its vast resources include more than 10,000[2] volumes of repertoires (marriage records), genealogies, biographies, histories, genealogical journals, and publications of regional, national, and international scope.

The society publishes a quarterly journal, Je Me Souviens.
