Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Genealogical societies are non-profit organizations or associations specializing in genealogical research, preserving history and historical records. The society members share knowledge of genealogical records and methodologies for specific localities, cultural groups or family surnames.
All societies are a little different in their goal and the services they provide for their members. County genealogical societies can have detailed information about previous settlers and residents of an area. They can collect, transcribe, index, and publish records to provide access for members and other individuals (sometimes for a fee). Local genealogical societies often help family history researchers contact local record searchers or copy records that mention the researcher's ancestors. Often their records contain birth, marriage, death, and other biographical information. |
