Tap Roots, our Quarterly Journal

Members of GSEA receive, and are encouraged to submit to, our quarterly journal, Tap Roots, which has been published continuously since 1963. The wealth of information within its pages is asounding - in the more than 220 issues, there are almost 3,000 artlcles: biographies, family, church and community histories, court and probate records, school records, vital records, military rolls and histories, diaries, and obituaries. 634 cemeteries from the five-county area have been enumerated and published in Tap Roots and its "Special Editions".
