BCGS wishes all its readers and visitors a very Happy New Year for 2013.

Beginning in January 2013, the BCGS website will feature BCGS members’ research tips each month; some months there might be bonus tips. These may include general research advice, or a favourite research source.

For January 2013, the tip is:

“Join a local genealogy society – learn from experienced researchers & share your successes!”

This is true wherever you are. And most genealogical societies and groups, like the BC Genealogical Society, are happy to welcome you to a meeting or two for free so that you can see and experience the activities, resources and opportunities they offer their members.
