Historical Note

The Arizona Genealogical Board is a group that strives to promote the study of geneaology and history among organizations and individuals. They often work with genealogical societies, libraries with genealogical collections, as well as professionals and the general public.

Scope and Content Note

Candidates must submit proof that the ancestor resided in the area and the relationship to the ancestor.
