I
belong to several state, regional and national genealogical societies including
the Southern California Genealogical
Society, the Utah Genealogical
Association, the New
England Historic Genealogical Society, and the National Genealogical Society. All have
publications and benefits that are helpful to me in my research.
Of
these, I would say I am most thankful for the NEHGS. I am descended from early
New England ancestors and the databases and other reference materials available
to me through their website have been invaluable in furthering my research on
these familial lines.
I
also have a particular interest in early American history. Reading their books
and periodicals has helped expand my knowledge and provided many hours of
enjoyable reading.
Although
I am not sure I will ever have the opportunity, I would love to visit Boston and
take advantage of the research library and educational programs offered by
NEHGS.
52 Weeks of Abundant
Genealogy by Amy Coffin is a series of weekly blogging prompts (one for
each week of 2012) that invite genealogists and others to discuss resources in the
genealogy community including websites, applications, libraries, archives,
genealogical societies and more. You do not have to be a blogger to participate. If you do not have a
genealogy blog, write down your thoughts on your computer, or simply record
them on paper and keep them with your files.
