There are many societies such as the DAR {Daughters of the American Revolution}, Mayflower Descendants, state societies, and numerous others societies and groups.
So, why should I join a society?
- Learn new research tips—learn about various records and research tips from other researchers.
- Socialize with people that have similar interest—this is the opportunity to develop friendships, discuss brick walls and discuss the world of genealogy {which only researchers understand}.
- Learn more about your family—you never know when you or another researcher will discover a long lost cousin. Also, to join a lineage society {such as the DAR} you have to submit your family lineage.
- Discover more about a time period or area
- Historical preservation—many societies work to transcribe and preserve historical records and memorabilia.
