Get Involved
Contribute Articles or Data
If you have information or data to share, you are invited to submit it for inclusion on the MGS web site or
MGS News. Information should be on genealogy in general, or Maryland genealogy / history. Articles / data whose rights are owned by others cannot be posted without their permission. So copyright / source information will be required for any submissions. You will be given credit for the submission in the posting unless you desire otherwise. For further information or to submit articles / data, send an email to
webmaster@mdgensoc.org.
Volunteer
Like most organizations, the Maryland Genealogical Society is always looking for help from its members. Do you enjoy planning events? Transcribing records? Proofreading or indexing publications? There are many opportunities as a volunteer to become an active participant in MGS activities. You can give as little or as much time as you are able. For those in a position to contribute more time, volunteering might lead to an opportunity to help run the organization through nomination to serve on the Executive Board. Calls for volunteers are usually posted in
MGS News and on the web site. You can also obtain more information by contacting us at
president@mdgensoc.org.
Update Member Contact Information
It's important that we have up-to-date contact information for members. This information will not be publicly viewable online (except when it has been included in a submission of a query) and will not be given to other organizations. Members should sign in and select "Profile" to view their contact information and let us know if updates are needed.
Add Your Surnames to the Surname Exchange
Members can enter the surnames they are researching. You must be logged in and viewing your Profile in the Members Only Section to enter surnames. Click
