Our mission is to inspire, connect, and lead the family history community. We foster collaboration and best practices in advocacy, education, preservation, and research. We enable people, cultures, and organizations to discover the past and create a lasting legacy.

Have you been thinking about beginning your search for your family history?  Do you want to build your skills and expertise? The National Genealogical Society (frequently referred to as NGS), a non-profit organization, is here to help individuals learn about their family history.

For 120 years, we have been the leader in teaching genealogical research skills and providing a pathway to scholarly work. Ready to get started?  Look at our skill-building boxes on the homepage for advice and tips, or go to our learning center to enroll in an online course, check out our books and publications, or come to our annual conference.
