HGF Memberships for Fall 2026 Events
The support of our HGF members for the 2025-2026 season enabled us to present monthly meetings with presentations by top genealogists, helpful door prizes, refreshments for our in-person attendees, and other activities that you have enjoyed. As we start the 2026-2027 season, we invite our current members to renew their membership and encourage everyone else who has appreciated our presentations to become a member. Our annual membership fee remains as it has been since 2019 - $25.00/yr for individuals and $35.00 for families. Some of the immediate benefits of membership include:
- Speaker Handouts - We expect to continue offering our 2026 meetings without charge. As before, you must be a current member to download the speaker handout which summarize the important lessons from the sessions and includes links to helpful genealogical resources.
- Special Seminars - We will charge for several special seminars where we incur additional expenses but, in those cases, member fees will be significantly lower than those for non-members.
Additional member benefits include:
- Our award-winning The Genealogical Record
- Our Members Present meetings
- New Special Interest Groups (SIGS) such as our Genealogy Roundtable
For current members, you'll know it's time to renew your membership when you log onto the HGF website and find a red box at the top with instructions for renewing your membership or you could mark your calendar. New members can join by going to Join HGF.
As a reminder, HGF has changed from calendar year membership to one based on your membership anniversary, e.g. if you joined HGF in March of last year, your membership would expire at the end of March this year. Memberships for those of you who joined prior to 2024 expire at the end of December.
