Association Généalogique de l’Anjou (A.Gen.A) is a nonprofit association dedicated to preserving, sharing, and passing on Anjou’s genealogical and written heritage. Founded in 1973, it brings together volunteers who support amateur genealogists and researchers, whether they are beginning to explore family history or seeking help with their research. The association offers guidance, training, and access to genealogical resources, and encourages cooperation among genealogy groups.

A.Gen.A provides local opportunities to meet and receive assistance through its branches and regular help sessions, including in Angers and Saumur. Its activities include introductory genealogy courses and access to its database, alongside events and news for members and the public. The association also publishes “Le Closier” and maintains a library, giving researchers additional ways to explore historical and family records. Based in Angers, A.Gen.A welcomes people interested in discovering their family roots and contributes to the collective preservation and transmission of regional heritage. Through its services and community activities, it helps make genealogical research more accessible across Anjou.
