I just wanted to remind everyone that new sub-projects are added to this portal on a regular basis, and you can help by 1) creating new ones and/or 2) loading profiles into the existing ones.
Some new subprojects added recently include:
- Ancient Order of United Workmen: https://www.geni.com/projects/Ancient-Order-of-United-Workmen/47326
- Modern Woodmen of America: https://www.geni.com/projects/Modern-Woodmen-of-America/4476674
- Native Sons of the Golden West: https://www.geni.com/projects/Native-Sons-of-the-Golden-West/4476675
If you've created projects for any fraternal organizations but not linked them to this portal, please add them or let us know to add them!
If you're looking for a way to contribute, we can always use more help creating sub-projects. Large fraternal orgs that we still don't have sub-projects for include B'nai Brith, Sons of Norway, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Orange Order, and Unico, just to name a few.
Fraternal (and sororal) orgs are a huge part of North American genealogy and provide really rich resources to research, so I hope people will get interested and involved!
