We are always excited to have new members! We invite you to join our society! We have come together to grow our genealogy knowledge, to help each other and other interested parties who are researching Smith County family members, ancestry, and connections.
There is no restriction on membership, and for your convenience, we offer several convenient ways to join and pay.
All members get a quarterly newsletter with lots of queries and helpful information from the society and a network of experienced researchers who are happy to share information. We now have new levels of membership available! We offer a Lifetime Membership and Lifetime Household Membership, plus a new category bestowed by the society, an Honorary Lifetime Membership!
