Our society was founded in Oklahoma in 1977 as the Goddard Association of America and has been in continuous existence since that time. It is chartered in the state of Ohio as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

We are dedicated to the preservation of the history and heritage of Goddard, Godard and related families. We have members from the United States, Canada, Australia and England.

THE GODDARD HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY is about family. We can help you find your ancestors. We invite you to share information about your family. We make lasting friendships. We have fun. We provide opportunity for members to participate in all aspects of the organization and to serve as officers and committee members.

Our FILES and DATABASES include thousands of names and dates, and we can often supply members with genealogical assistance in researching their family trees. Let us help you find your Goddard/Godard connection.

The society has also helped members publish their own family books.

Our officers and board members are all volunteers.

WE WELCOME NEW MEMBERS.
