Genealogy Tip #1 Connect with Genealogical and Historical Societies

At a recent meeting of my local genealogical society the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists Inc., which I am a member of, they discussed a great topic about doing Family Trees and Charts and how to organize family history. For those who do it the more manual way there were some great tips offered for this method. I am a proponent for utilizing a family tree software as I find for myself it keeps me more organized and I have pretty much digitized all my records on my computer, however there is still somethings that I like to have also printed, such as maps and other records that I need to highlight and thumb through to thoroughly get at the information. Although I wont be utilizing the manual method for my charts and trees I did come away with some other great tips that were a part of the larger discussion, which lead me to a thought about sharing my own genealogical tips. I thought it would be fitting to start with my first tip which is connecting with Genealogical and Historical Societies.

This past year I decided that I wanted to go further with my passion for family history and I wanted connect with others who were just as passionate. I decided to become of member of the Massachusetts Genealogical Society Bristol Chapter. Although my roots are not from Massachusetts, I have found that connecting with other genealogists is still a great source of information. They offer the chance to help you learn from many different speakers on various subject matters as well as help you break down your own family “brick walls”. Some of the upcoming great topics that my local chapter will be discussing are “Passenger Lists for the Port of Boston”, “Azorean Family History” and “Advances in DNA” to name a few. I am also looking forward to the “Round-table Research” sessions which is a discussion by the members on specific topics and how to break down those brick walls.

Another great thing that many genealogical societies now offer are free classes or webinars to their members. This a great way to be able to attend a class or webinar at the convenience of your own time by attending the class online. This is also great for genealogists like me who are not near their home town roots or for genealogists who want to explore different information that is offered by many genealogical societies across the states and world.

Lastly, many if not most of the genealogical societies that are online today, also have an online repository to their previous newsletters and surname lists which could offer you a wealth of information of articles and family history information from previous years research by others. This is especially important for those of us who are doing research from a far.

These are just some of my favorite things that I have found from the Genealogical and Historical Societies, but there are so many others. Check out the links below to some of my favorites Genealogical and Historical Societies.
