I thought I would put down some reasons joining the society may help.
1 - You have your surname interests printed for all our members to see. These include people all over the World.
2 - You can ask for help on our Help Wanted page. You never know who will reply or what you may find out.
3 - I offer free research in the local reference library to our members. This includes local directories, electoral registers, local newspapers.
4 - You will receive 4 issue of the society magazine, The Sandgrounder, which always have interesting articles.
I'm sure other members will have more to add
