NGS | Bookstore | Membership Options

We're glad you've decided to take your genealogical journeys with us. Genealogical research will lead you on fascinating paths where you learn not only about your ancestors, but also about history, culture and yourself. By joining the National Genealogical Society you will also become a member of the genealogical community at large. Our society will keep you abreast of genealogical issues and publications, provide training to conduct more sophisticated research, give you access to our Research Services, and grant discounts to our online bookstore and events. To renew an existing membership, click here!

Your membership begins the month you join and expires 12 months later on the last day of the same month, e.g., join the month of October 2006 and your expiration date will be 31 October 2007. You will be notified two months before your membership expires to be given the opportunity to renew your membership. NGS does not automatically renew members upon expiration.

Please choose a membership level.
Your membership dues will be added to your shopping cart along with any other items you have purchased in this session. Once the order has been processed, you will have immediate access to the Member's Only section of our website.

NOTE: For members outside the United States, there is an additional charge for postage: $20.00 for Canada and $25.00 for all other countries. This additional charge will be added to the shopping cart at checkout.

Attention: Joining NGS today so you can register for the NGS Conference? It is highly recommended that you become a member at the same time you register for the conference. If you join first on the NGS web site please be advised there is at least a 24 hour delay before a member number is assigned, (longer on a weekend) and a 48 hour delay before the number will be recognized on the conference registration site.
