Learn more about Genealogy – Join one or more Genealogy Societies

Join a genealogy society and get involved. The society will help you expand your genealogical skills. You will be able to meet fellow genealogists and learn more about research methods from conversations with them. Most societies schedule regular programs and conferences that increase genealogy skills of their members. Another opportunity to learn will come from working on service projects, society committees and at conferences. Besides your learning experiences, it should be fun and rewarding.

Attending genealogy programs and conferences in your area is another opportunity to increase your genealogy skills. The programs can be put on by your own society or be put on by nearby societies. Some libraries also schedule genealogy programs regularly. Visit the websites of the genealogy societies in your area and the websites for nearby libraries to see what genealogy programs they have scheduled and then plan to attend.
