One such specialty periodical is Genealogical Computing , published by Ancestry, Inc., which deals with the Internet, online resources, software programs and how to perform electronic genealogical research. There are many, many sources of genealogical periodicals, and the frequency of publication varies. Let's discuss some of the better publications. Genealogical societies provide a wealth of published information, usually in the form of periodicals. These groups provide a tremendous service to genealogists and historians by researching and maintaining records of their respective area.
Genealogical societies exist at all levels.
National organizations exist, such as the prestigious National Genealogical Society and the New England Historic Genealogical Society. In additon to regional, county and local genealogical societies which also exist and are very active indeed. Membership groups such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of the American Revolution and others exist too. I cannot urge you enough to join a genealogical society in an area in which you are researching your family lines. The membership rates are really quite reasonable, and they usually publish a genealogical periodical.
