*************************************************************** NAT9.TXT GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETIES OF THE UNITED STATES NATION WIDE SOCIETIES Version 9 26 December 1991 (C) Copyright 1990, 1991 Robert McLaren 7810 Kincardine Ct. Alexandria, VA 22310-4025 The following file contains a listing of nation-wide genealogical and historical societies in the U.S. Included in the listing, where known, are telephone numbers and yearly dues. Most of the societies are ethnic, based on either a country or region of origin, or on a religion. I have gathered these from several sources, and some may be incorrect or out of date. If you have any corrections, or if there are any additions, post a message on the NGC for Robert McLaren or write to me at the address above. Socities for individual states are listed in files designated by the geographical area. See README.DOC for details on how to locate the file for a particular state. This listing is donated to the public domain and may be freely copied. Under no conditions can this listing be sold or used in any other commercial fashion. If you think this list has any value, then donate that value in helping your local genealogical society (or the National Genealogical Society). If you write to any of the societies on this list for information, remember to include a self addressed stamped envelop (SASE). Many of these societies work with a limited budget, supplemented by volunteers, and can not afford to respond unless a SASE is included in your letter. **************************************************************** GENERAL National Genealogical Society 4527 17th Street, North Arlington, VA 22207-2399 (703) 525-0050 Dues: $30.00 per year (individuals); $25.00 per year (organizations) Federation of Genealogical Societies 2324 East Nottingham Springfield, MO 65804-7821 Dues: For genealogical/family history societies; dues based on membership of society ORPHANS Orphan Train Heritage Society of America 4912 Trout Farm Road Springdale, AR 72764 Dues: $20.00 per year **************************************************************** AFRICA AFRO-AMERICANS Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society P.O.
