Membership
The society offers two types of membership:
BRANCH MEMBERSHIP - This type of membership is for those people who can attend meetings of their nearest Branch. Each Branch has an annual fee which entitles members to attend meetings in that Branch but also allows them to attend meetings held by any of the other Branches. This Annual Membership includes two issues of the Society's Journal "North Irish Roots". Each Branch has a varied programme of monthly meetings with specialist speakers, research evenings, trips to record offices, visits to our Library etc. The members are very friendly, and the more experienced are glad to help the inexperienced. Details of your nearest venue and next meeting can be obtained here.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP - This is for members who are unable to attend Branch meetings but wish to be involved in the Society. An annual subscription to the Society entitles them to two issues of the journal "North Irish Roots" and also to submit a Profile Form. The Profile Form provides space to include Member's Interests, Queries and Offers of Reciprocal Research. This information is subsequently published in the Journal which reaches members in over fourteen countries worldwide. For application and other forms relating to Associate Membership, click here.

Members' Family Trees
The Society would like to compile a collection of members' family trees to be held in the Society's Library. The objective is to share information among members for their mutual benefit, by publishing their family tree members make that information available to others and in doing so they also advertise their interests to others.
Family trees can be submitted on paper or in electronic format either by e-mail or on disk. Whatever format is used please include a title page with your submission, this should include the family name, a list of the main surnames included and their locations, your name, membership number, contact details and date of publication.
A sample title page is shown below.
