GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Genealogical Societies-Why They Are Important & How to Support Them

The panel, Melissa Barker, Jennny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I get together to share our thoughts on the importance of genealogical societies.

Those on the national, regional, and local levels are important for our research.

Watch as we discuss how they have helped us and how the community can support and help them grow.

Are you a member of a genealogical or historical society?

Do you have ideas and suggestions for sustaining and growing members?

We'd love to hear from you!
