=== '''Ten Benefits of Joining''' '''Local Family History Societies''' === | |||
Here are ten advantages and benefits of joining a local family history society, including all of the following:<br> | |||
#one of the best ways to discover other (distant) relatives, with whom to collaborate on family lines.<br> | |||
#learn about events and local history which directly affect researching your ancestors.<br> | |||
#learn effective research strategies and other critical approaches in your research. <br> | |||
#numerous ideas for helping you overcome brickwalls in constructing your genealogy.<br> | |||
#learn about, use, help create critical products being compiled by each society, such as transcribing or indexing churchyard, marriage, baptisms, census, military, occupational, and etc records of the area or county, perhaps finding your parish[es] of interest to index if desired.<br> | |||
#purchase books, CDs, microfiche, or the services of knowledgeable and skilled local residents to perform "lookup" for all those researching ancestry from the more remotes areas of the world.<br> | |||
#share/publish your surname interests of those of your ancestors for others to view and respond with help and assistance in various ways.<br> | |||
#write articles on one or some of your case studies, and research strategies, or about the records of an area or county in order to share and disseminate learned sound research practices, based on your area of expertise and/or ancestral research experience[s]. Perhaps other societies will wish rights to share or otherwise publish in their journals as well.<br> | |||
#advertise - ancestral names at reasonable rates in their journals, for whom you are searching, etc.<br> | |||
#modest cost to join, and yields a very high return rate in terms of benefits<br> | |||
