Some variations on the theme of convergence spaces are developed, including the notion of a convergence group. The structure of the set of sequences convergent to the identity is investigated. A Graev-type construction of the free convergence group over certain convergence spaces X is carried out, and the completeness of the resulting group established. The free convergence group F(X) is Fréchet iff X is discrete. The paper closes with some examples related to minimality: a coarse convergence group which is not complete, and a closed subgroup of a noncommutative coarse group which is not coarse. Some discussion of the historical development of the subject is woven through the paper, and an extensive bibliography is provided.
