Family history societies often publish helpful journals, transcripts, compiled genealogies and host helpful websites. They may have ongoing projects to transcribe records and create indexes. Most societies publish queries in their journals and maintain lists of members’ research interests that may be helpful to you. You may want to join one of these societies, reap the benefits of their expertise and resources, or support its efforts.

Addresses of the societies are for the most part where their meetings are held as they are by-and-large not brick-and-mortar institutions.

 * The Castleisland and District Culture and Heritage Society was established in 2006 with the aim of collecting, preserving, and promoting an interest in the history of Castleisland and its hinterland. The primary objectives of the Society are to investigate and research any matters, books, or other material likely to contain historical information, to collect and preserve material of local interest to its members and the public in general, and to encourage a wider knowledge and appreciation of the history of this area and beyond by staging lectures and field trips for both its members and the public alike.
