From a message August 2023 to members: "Last year we announced that the Pennington Research Association (PRA) and the National Genealogical Society (NGS) signed an agreement to support PRA as it ended its operations. Part of that agreement was NGS’s pledge to ensure the Pennington family legacy continues by maintaining the PRA’s page on MyHeritage and offering a one-year complimentary membership to NGS. In addition, we now maintain the PRA’s digital files. The Pennington Family Collection is now available by contacting me at membership [at] ngsgenealogy.org. Please include “Pennington Research” in the subject line of the email. Other Pennington family records continue to be maintained by Earlham College." | ||
