The Society originated in 1978 through the efforts of and by members of the 1699 Historical Committee and has progressed beyond the point of thriving wholly on membership dues and donations. The Society accomplishments over the years include, donation of books and materials to the Ocean Springs Library, publishing genealogy research tools, producing a monthly newsletter, and sponsoring genealogy workshops and seminars.
