SERVICES

A Newsletter, Corson Cousins, is published and mailed quarterly. The yearly surname indexes are accessible and searchable for free. Printed copies of past issues of the newsletters and indexes are available for purchase. Details and pricing can be found on our publications page.
The organization has established a Research Library to "identify, collect, organize, preserve, and share information and items relevant to genealogy, especially to the history of Corson/Colson families". The unique holdings, while limited, may be explored through the online library catalog.
Our Handbook and Membership Directory contains the listings, including regular and email addresses, of our nearly 250 members, both active and inactive, including the lines they are researching or connected to. Updates are mailed with the newsletters. A new directory edition is usually issued with the April newsletter mailing.
We maintain a Resource & Bibliography List with hundreds of entries specific to our lines. Most have lookup volunteers, or are in possession of members.
This Web Site and the RootsWeb Surname Discussion Lists are maintained for stimulating communication between members. This site contains an exclusive section for members only which includes information that can expand your research and bring you close to organization activities and resources.
We provide our services to both online and non computer members. (Nearly 50% of our active members are online.)
Queries can be submitted online to the RootsWeb Surname Discussion Lists. There is no cost or membership requirement to participate in our online activities.
Queries can also be submitted by regular mail or email to the Newsletter Editor. Member queries will be published without charge in our newsletter. Non member queries will be responded to (and possibly published) as time and resources allow. Please include a SASE with any genealogical information request.
Research and Publication Projects are encouraged and supported to further the interests of members, family Divisions, and the association as a whole. See the CCFHA in Action & The 300+ Project pages to review some of our exciting and useful projects.

Annual dues: $14.00 US per year. (Non-domestic memberships $17.00)
(Dues cover a calendar year 1 Jan-31 Dec. Members joining mid-year will receive the newsletters for that year issued prior to their start date.)
New Members: $5.00, one time fee, for the cost and mailing of our Membership Directory and Member Handbook which come in a labeled, loose leaf binder with additional space for storing the copies of the Corson Cousins newsletter you will receive. The binder should hold two years of the newsletters along with the directory and handbook.

If the Corson/Colson history and families interest you, we encourage you to support and participate in our efforts, preferably as a CCFHA member.
