Join me behind the scenes at the National Genealogical Society Conference as I explore the vibrant world of genealogical and lineage societies! In this video, you'll get the vibe of the conference, expo hall, and hear candid conversations with passionate genealogists, and learn why societies like the Mayflower Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and local genealogy groups are essential resources for family historians.
Discover how these societies:
– Preserve and share valuable family records
– Offer lineage certification and research support
– Build community and foster collaboration
– Provide exclusive classes, events, and access to archives
From personal stories to expert insights—including appearances by well-known genealogists like Michael Henderson and Angela Packer McGhie—you’ll see why joining a society might just be your next best step in family history research.
Be sure to stick around until the end for a surprise (spoiler: the fire was a false alarm, but evacuated the building)!
There is no handout with this video.
