The purpose of the Genealogical Society is to seek out and preserve information about the families, past and present, of Beaver County; Pennsylvania and to help it's members obtain the information they need to document their family heritage, even if it extends beyond the bounds of the county.

The society will publish queries of members free in the "Gleanings." The fee for non members is $3.00 per query. The editor reserves the right to reject any query if it is deemed inappropriate.

The society is willing to copy, without charge, genealogical records held by private individuals, providing one copy to the owner and donating the other to the Beaver County Research Center. This includes the Records of churches, cemeteries, funeral directors, magistrates, etc. The original records will be returned to the owner.
