Membership
Membership in the Fort Worth Genealogical
Society is by calendar year, from January 1st
through December 31st. All members
receive annually, four issues of our quarterly
journal, Footprints, and eleven issues
of our monthly newsletter. Those who join
mid-year will receive missed issues of Footprints
for the current year in the mail, but missed
newsletters may only be downloaded from our
website. From time to time, other items may
also be published and made available.
Substantial discounts are offered to members
on most items published or sold by the
Society.
The
five classifications of membership are:
Individual, Family, Sustaining, Contributing
and Honorary Life. Sustaining and Contributing
are levels of membership for those who wish to
assist with additional financial support of
the Society. These members are greatly
appreciated, however there are no additional
benefits. Honorary Life Membership, which
carry the same benefits as any other
class, is bestowed only upon members who
have made significant contributions to the
growth or betterment of the Society.
In
addition to the publications received as a
benefit of membership, your dues help to bring
in professional speakers for our General
Membership meetings and supports an Exchange
Program. Our journal, Footprints, is
traded for quarterlies published by other
genealogical Societies across the nation.
Periodicals received through this program,
plus books and manuscripts presented to the
Society, as well as books sent in for review
in Footprints, are donated to the Genealogy
Department of the Fort Worth Public Library
for use by the general public.
We
invite you to join us as a member of the Fort
Worth Genealogical Society. Annual dues are as
low as $20.00 for individuals. Renewals and
new memberships are accepted year round.
