The ASG is limited to fifty life-time members designated as Fellows, identified within the genealogical community by the post-nominal initials FASG. Since its inception, the ASG has served the discipline of genealogy by embodying and promoting the highest standards of genealogical scholarship. Foremost among the ASG’s ongoing activities is publication of The Genealogist, one of the leading American journals of scholarly genealogy.
