Tip 10: Join a Family History Society
There are thousands of family history societies around the world and it can be helpful to join the one which covers the area from where your ancestors originated. Similarly, you may also want to join the society in the area where you live so that you can attend their meetings.
The societies do a lot of work making records from their locality available for researchers and they also provide a useful forum for swapping information and research. They also usually have an interesting education and lecture program from which you can learn about new research skills and sources.
A list of societies can be found at www.cyndislist.com/society.htm
