The Genealogist

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, in the spring of 1997, published and distributed by Picton Press, continuing through Vol. 23, No. 2 (Fall 2009). Starting with Vol. 24, No. 1 (Spring 2010), The Genealogist will be published directly by The American Society of Genealogists.

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:
