Abstract: In this work, two new series expansions for generalized Euler's constants (Stieltjes constants)

g a m m a_{m}

are obtained. The first expansion involves Stirling numbers of the first kind, contains polynomials in

p i^{- 2}

with rational coefficients and converges slightly better than Euler's series

s u m n^{- 2}

. The second expansion is a semi-convergent series with rational coefficients only. This expansion is particularly simple and involves Bernoulli numbers with a non-linear combination of generalized harmonic numbers. It also permits to derive an interesting estimation for generalized Euler's constants, which is more accurate than several well-known estimations. Finally, in Appendix A, the reader will also find two simple integral definitions for the Stirling numbers of the first kind, as well an upper bound for them.
