Membership Delivery

Beginning with the 2024 Membership Year, Genealogical Society of New Jersey (GSNJ) memberships will be offered with three different delivery options for society publications and communications.

  • Digital: All publications and communications delivered DIGITALLY ONLY.
  • Print GMNJ: Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey (GMNJ) delivered in PRINT; other publications and communications delivered DIGITALLY.
  • Print Only: GMNJ, GSNJ Newsletter, and all communications delivered in PRINT ONLY. No subscription to NewsBrief (GSNJ’s digital-only e-zine).

Click here to view the message issued to the members by Melissa Johnson, GSNJ President, on 21 December 2023 regarding the delivery options and revised dues.

Note to current members whose membership expires in 2024, 2025 or later:

No additional payment from you is necessary at this time. You will continue to receive GMNJ in hard copy. The next time you are set to renew (at the end of your current membership period), you will select whichever type of membership and delivery method you’d like at that time, and you will pay the membership price for whichever you choose. You may receive an email in the near future from Membership asking if you’d like to opt into digital delivery during your current membership period. You would respond with your preference at this time with no additional payment.
