• Foster, stimulate and share ideas, information, methods, and ethical practices in family genealogy and DNA research.
• Collect, preserve, and make available material on family history, with special emphasis on research data concerning past and present families in Jefferson County, Washington.
• Encourage those officials in charge of public records and genealogical collections to preserve and make them accessible to interested persons.
• Provide educational opportunities through membership meetings, seminars, and special programs, both in-person and online.
