The Society mails 11 newsletters a year (November and December are combined) to members to inform them of business and upcoming events. The newsletters also contain selected genealogical information, queries and local obituaries. Queries may be submitted at no cost and material is sought for publication in the newsletter. Journals are published on a semiannual basis in the spring and fall and are included in the membership fee. A list of members with an index of surnames they are researching is also published annually and updated periodically. The address of the Society is Tyrrell County Genealogical and Historical Society, P.O. Box 686, Columbia, NC 27925.

Membership renewals should be paid by the end of February to be considered a member in good standing and continue receiving newsletters and journals. Memberships received after June 1 of each year apply to the next year. TCGHS is a non-profit, tax deductible organization.

        The preservation of family bible records is very important to genealogists. The TCGHS has a project to collect and publish bible records from the local area. If you have a family bible and are willing to share it with others, please click HERE for directions on how to do it. If you know someone else who has such a bible, please make them aware of this project and encourage them to share its information.
