New Member Special - You can slow time. Make your membership year last up to 15 months

Sign up June - August and Get up to 15 Months instead of 12! 

 A special invitation from Carol Kimball Stahl, 

our WCGS member chairperson -

We appreciate that you elected to follow our blog. That decision on your part shows your interest and willingness to seek resources to aid in your research. Now may be the time to take that interest and willingness to the next level.

We currently are offering an extended membership “year” to new members.  The new memberships will expire on August 31, 2027, instead of August 31, 2026. Depending on how soon you join, you could enjoy the benefits for 15 months!!  Remember that many of our members have no ties to North Carolina, let alone Wake County.  The programs are designed to appeal to anyone performing genealogical research.  Many happen to live in the area and enjoy the WCGS community.  However, we also have members scattered across the United States who do have ties here.  Those members enjoy the “local” aspect of connecting to folks who might be able to assist in research in this area. 

We hope that you have enjoyed the insights, tools, and inspiration shared via our newsletters and virtual programs.  You currently enjoy eleven virtual meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month (Nov/Dec are combined).  You also have 24/7 access to both our award-winning publications:

 ~ WakeTreasures, our journal - 31 years of issues from 1991 to 2022.

 ~ WakeGenealogy Watch, our quarterly newsletter. 

However, membership will give you several exclusive benefits, such as:       

 ~  Access to recordings of virtual presentations for 30 days (at speakers discretion).
 ~ Member-only handouts and other presentation materials, including the archive of handouts from past events.
 ~ Reduced pricing for special events.
 ~ Entry into the member directory and surname database to connect to those who are researching similar family lines so you can collaborate.
 ~ Personalized notification (aka known as reminders!) of WCGS meetings and events.
 ~ Access to special society-affiliation discounts offered by third-party vendors when available. Most recent examples - Genealogy Gems from Lisa Louise Cook and new subscriber discount from Legacy Webinars.
 ~ Our WCGS Welcome kit, which contains a wealth of information to assist in your research

When you become a member, you are not just signing up for benefits—your membership is an investment in a shared journey of discovery.  Your support of our Society advances our mission to further genealogical research, provide education through virtual meetings and in-person events, promote collaboration, and preserve records important to your history and ours.  

Genealogy isn't just about looking back. It's about moving forward together!

When you join WCGS early, June - August 2026, your membership will be valid until August 31. 2027! Get more for your membership investment.

Join now and be part of something enduring.
