7. Family history societies
Remember, you are not alone. You can join a local family history society and sign-up to email mailing lists on the family history topics that interest you. Usually, you can join a society or list in the area where you live and/or the area where your research interests are (even if you live 1000s of miles away).
For a list of Family History Societies go to the Federation of Family History Societies
. Scotland has a separate organisation, the Scottish Association of Family History Societies. You might also want to join the Society of Genealogists. The Rootsweb.com is a mailing list catalogue and archive.
