Some of the privileges of membership are:

• Newsletter: NCGS members will receive a quarterly publication. This 20-page publication contains genealogical material and records relating to Niagara County as well as Society news. Members may also post free queries in the newsletter.

• Look-Up Program: NCGS has a Look-Up service available to members only. Each $15 membership in the Society entitles you to one FREE 30-minute Look-Up in the Library’s holdings OR one Obit Look-Up in the Niagara Falls or Lockport Public Library. After the free Look-Up, additional Look-Ups are available for $10 each and Obits for $6 each. (Click here for information about our Look-Up Program.)

• Surname Exchange: NCGS has compiled a list of surnames being researched by members. We hope this will be useful to members in connecting with others who are working on the same surnames. It is available to members only for a nominal fee to cover the cost of printing and mailing. Members are also encouraged to place a lineage chart...of any size...on file in the Society Library. This will assure that work on your family is preserved for years to come.

• Society Meetings are open to all and are generally held at 7pm on the last Wednesday of each month (except July, August, November & December) at the Niagara County Historical Museum meeting room. Meeting topics are listed in the quarterly newsletters and have covered areas such as computers & genealogy, ethnic groups, local families and travel & research hints.
