Our Goals

• To increase interest in and raise the standard of genealogical research and compilation by means of educational programs, workshops, and publication of genealogical data.
• To instruct its members in the art and practice of genealogical research and compilation.
• To acquaint its members with sources of genealogical material in Randolph County and elsewhere.
• To provide periodicals and information as a medium of genealogical information and exchange.
• To promote the collection, preservation, and use of manuscripts, documents, and other materials of genealogical and historical value.

We publish The Genealogical Journal 3 times a year. The journal will contain material that is of interest to historians and genealogists with roots in Randolph County and the surrounding area. Since the county was formed from Guilford in 1779, which was part of Rowan and Orange prior to 1771, some data from those and neighboring counties may be included. Contributions of unpublished material: Bible records, old letters, diaries and other private papers will be welcomed by the editors(s).

Queries are free to all members, but must be accompanied by a pedigree chart relative to the same unless formerly filed.
