Genealogy Organizations

From the moment you start your research, you will become a dedicated genealogist. You can join organizations such as the United Sates Genealogical Society at www.usigs.org. or your city and state societies. The U.S. Genealogical Society are people who are committed to seeing that the maximum possible number of primary source documents become available on-line and accessible to family and other historians on the Web for free.
