Genealogical Societies
A family history society or genealogical society is a society, often charitable or not-for-profit, that allows member genealogists and family historians to profit from shared knowledge. Large societies often own libraries, sponsor research seminars and foreign trips, and publish journals.

Lineage societies are societies that limit their membership to descendants of a particular person or group of people of historical importance.
