They help members find the answers they are looking for. Membership is only $10.00 a year. Quite a bargain for all the "perks" you get. They also have for sale: The Fayette County Cemetery Records, Volumes (1-3) which list all of the area cemeteries and who's buried in them. They are reasonably priced too. To Join or To inquire about buying Cemetery Books, please email: 312026@inetone.net with Want to buy Books or Want to Join Society in the subject box; or write to F&R Genealogical Society, POB 68, Oak Hill, WV. 25901-0068 Attention: J.S. FOX. You may also be able to go to your local library and check out their Genealogy Research materials. You can only check them Out if you are a Society Member in your area. But if you have some time to spare, it may be worth spending time at your library. You may stumble on a treasure trove of info for your journey. Good Luck! Hope this helps you.
