Application for membership (revised 6/27/2008)
The main purpose of the Bay Area Genealogical Society is education. It is our desire to create, foster and maintain interest in genealogical research through the education of people of all ages. 

We intend to -- 

    - hold classes so people of all ages can learn how to research;
    - offer a support system for beginners to help them along the way; 
    - have our members participate by sharing their knowledge;
    - promote speakers that can teach us new methods and ideas.
We plan to share this information with others through our monthly Newsletter, with open seminars, and through our Quarterly.
