The National Genealogical Society Quarterly—often referred to as the NGS Quarterly, the NGSQ, and even the “Q”—is one of the most important member benefits NGS offers. The NGS Quarterly is considered essential to the study of genealogy because of its highly regarded “case study” format that helps readers advance their analytical thinking and writing skills. In this free, complimentary section of our website, you have the opportunity to sample NGS Quarterly articles on various case studies. Each article was written by a highly skilled author in the field of family history and genealogy.
Edited by Margaret R. Fortier, CG, and Mary Kircher Roddy, CG, this unique scholarly journal is utilized by every top-level genealogical teaching program for its case studies, making it an invaluable tool in teaching research methodology. Members have access to more than four hundred NGSQ articles.
Please accept our invitation to find some quiet time to read and learn from the NGSQ case studies. You will discover that even the footnotes are enjoyable to read and will help you enhance your genealogical skills.
