May 14 – Brainstorm clubs, fraternal organizations or trade associations your ancestors may have belonged to. Then check Cyndi’s List https://www.cyndislist.com/societies


Knowing what organizations your ancestors may have belonged to, can give you a glimpsed into their personality. Perhaps there is a newspaper article related to their organization affiliation. If the organization is still in existence, perhaps they have some records pertaining to them. Just because they still existence doesn’t mean the records do or that they will even share them with you. Also, just because the organization doesn’t exist doesn’t mean the records are gone, sometimes local historical societies have been gifted these items. 

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
