We’ve talked about place-based genealogical societies in the past (Blog Post), but what about national organizations focused more on process, procedure and methodology? Well, they can also be so helpful! I’ll name some of the big ones below, but please feel free to add any you feel should be on this list.
National Genealogical Society (https://www.ngsgenealogy.org/)
Focused on promoting genealogical skills, research standards, and raising awareness of family history. NGS hosts one of the biggest conferences and attending one should be on your bucket list (as it is mine).

American Ancestors (formerly New England Historic Genealogical Society) (https://www.americanancestors.org/)
Not just an amazing library in Boston, but also website that “serves more than 400,000 members and online subscribers through AmericanAncestors.org, one of the world’s largest online collections of free family history resources, scholarship, educational programming and events.”
