Do I need to join any Society at all?
Even if you have no relatives in the area in you live or work the advice
is, from many people deeply involved in researching Family History, to
seek
out and join your nearest Family History Society (FHS). It is through
meeting other 'like-minded' individuals that you can gain new insights
and guidance on the next steps to take. Most societies cost around £10 a year
annual membership. This provides members with a society magazine, as well as
funding meetings and projects such as indexing of records.
It will then be useful to join the County
Society where you will be doing research. They will have their own indexes
and search services. You may only belong
to a distant Society for a few years, but it can be well worth the small
investment. Many researchers remain as members of distant societies, learning
more about the area in which their ancestors lived and worked.
So, how can I join the Hampshire Genealogical Society?
Membership of the HGS is available through two methods, either online,
or by post.
This will allow non-EU Researchers to join the HGS using your credit card paying in your local currency. See the link on the HGS home page or go straight to The Federation Online Bookshop
