Genealogical and historical societies preserve and create new resources for family historians on a continual basis. Investigate societies in your ancestral areas of interest for new publications, online data, and member benefits. A great way to locate organizations that fit with your interest is by visiting the Federation of Genealogical Societies’ Society Hall or Cyndi’s List.
