For people like me who love to visit historical sites and always want to know what a museum, university library, or regional history center may have to offer a genealogist and family history writer, the $30 here and the $50 there can really add up. May I suggest that your genealogy buddy may just love a membership in one of these types of ethnic or general research groups?
Notice that some ethnic research groups don't have local representation but may have "subscriber only" databases that require a small payment!
