How will membership in the Pennington Research Association help me?  Here are some answers. 

1.     The Pennington Research Association offers value to its members by providing a forum to research the Pennington family, both printed and electronically.  The Pennington Research Association is primarily an organization that publishes genealogical and family history material -- presenters and exchangers of information. We do this by:

• Twice a year we publish the Pennington Pedigrees and make it available as a downloadable file on this website (Member's-only section).  The Pedigrees contain useful family history reports, queries, facts and other articles of interest to researchers of the Pennington family.
  
• We publish the Pennington Periodicals which consists of ten (10) years of Pennington Pedigrees, Cousin Couriers and many other useful research files and materials.  The Pennington Periodicals Volume I CD is available at our Publications web page.  The Pennington Periodicals Volume II files are being published a few per quarter and are now available in the Members-Only section of this website.
• We maintain two (2) websites for our Members.  Both websites require you to join the PRA.  Once you join, you will be provided access.  The primary Pennington Research Association website is www.PenningtonResearch.org.  We maintain a Member’s only website hosted by MyFamily.com that contains the JFMF, family histories and photographs submitted by PRA Members.  To access that website you have to receive a user name and password from the PRA.
  
• We publish many research articles, books and CDs.  Click here to visit the PRA’s Publication web page.
  

2.     We utilize Internet technology as an informative and educational tool for our members and all other genealogy researchers.  We do this by:

• We offer a "News" blog and a "Discussion" forum on this website.  Check them out and take advantage of these great communication tools and use them to share your research and to ask questions.    
  
• We maintain the PRA mail list on Rootsweb.com.
  
• We maintain the Pennington Surname Board on Ancestry.com.  These boards contain queries, Pennington obituaries, wills, marriages, births and other important research records.  Click here to go to the Pennington message boards on Ancestry.com.
  
• We provide learning tools by making presentations available on our website.  Check back often for an updated list of presentations available for viewing.
  
• We maintain the PRA blog at http://praresearch.blogspot.com/.  We publish all types of information to help with your research and to keep up with the PRA.  Visitors are encouraged to post their comments.
  

3.     We try to meet as often as possible to share research information on the Pennington family and to socialize with our Pennington cousins.  Click here to learn about the PRA Reunion/Meetings.

4.     As a service to new members we will try with the available resources we have to place you with an established group.
