The Genealogist

Editors
Charles M. Hansen, Col., USA (retd.), fasg, Sausalito, California
and
Gale Ion Harris, Ph.D., fasg, East Lansing, Michigan

The Genealogist is one of the most prestigious independent journals in the field of genealogy. It publishes high-quality genealogical articles including single-family studies, compiled genealogieTG1.gif (795108 bytes)s, and articles that solve specific problems. It provides a forum for scholarly articles which, for reasons such as length, do not fit in other publications. Shorter articles are also welcome. 

Following the transfer of ownership from Dr. Neil D. Thompson, its founder in 1980 and editor for almost two decades, The Genealogist, under its new owners, The American Society of Genealogists, continues its publication schedule of two issues per year, in the spring and fall, with each issue containing a minimum of 128 pages. The Society assumed publication with Vol. 11, No. 1, which was published in the spring of 1997, and will be publishing and distributing issues regularly henceforth through Picton Press, one of the oldest and the most prestigious genealogical publishers in America.

For the contents of recent issues, see Fall 2002, Spring 2003, Fall 2003, Spring 2004, Fall 2004, Spring 2005, and Fall 2005.

Submitting an Article for Publication

The editors are particularly interested in single family studies and compiled family genealogies, single-line descents, and articles that solve a specific problem while demonstrating a technique for solution of similar problems. The editors will not draw arbitrary geographic or chronological limits for articles but will continue to exclude queries, which have a proper place in many other publications.

Articles for publication should be submitted to the editorial address:
