Goal
On 23 April 2023, the National Genealogical Society (NGS) reached an historic milestone. We invite you to celebrate our 120th Anniversary with a financial gift to NGS.
To honor the extraordinary commitment of our members over 120 years, we established the
National Genealogical Society
1903 - 2023
120th Anniversary Grove
We are asking 120 friends of NGS to step forward and commemorate the Society’s 120th Anniversary by donating $120 in honor of a genealogist (past or present) or an ancestor of their choice. NGS will plant a tree in their honor through One Tree Planted, adding a real tree to your family tree.
Donors' names will also be included in a list of donors published in NGS Magazine in Spring 2024.
Join us in celebrating NGS's 120th Anniversary.
