*************************************************************** NEWENG9.TXT GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETIES OF THE UNITED STATES NEW ENGLAND STATES Version 9 29 December 1991 (C) Copyright 1990, 1991 Robert McLaren 7810 Kincardine Ct. Alexandria, VA 22310-4025 The following file contains a listing of genealogical and historical societies in the New England States of the U.S. Included in the listing, where known, are telephone numbers and yearly dues. I have gathered these from several sources, and some may be incorrect or out of date.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. This file contains listings of genealogical and historical societies for the following states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachussetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. See the file README.DOC for any other 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. ******************************************************************** NEW ENGLAND New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 (617) 536-5740 Dues: $45.00 per year (single); $70.00 per year (family) ******************************************************************** CONNECTICUT The Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc.
