Every serious genealogist knows the value of becoming a member of their local genealogy society.
With the growing interest in family history, genealogy groups are springing up in every major town in the country. Even small towns that have a historic past often form their own societies and begin documenting the founding fathers and the history of their region, and helping members find their lost relatives. Whether you are a novice or an experienced genealogist, you can gain knowledge and meet other researchers at the interesting monthly meetings. Many of us have made lifelong friends at these gatherings. We are fortunate in having some of the most active societies around.
