Submission Guidelines for our Journal, The Essex Genealogist

The Essex Genealogist, or TEG, welcomes a variety of submissions related to genealogy, including family histories, interesting ancestors, genealogical discoveries, brick wall problems and solutions, Ahnentafels, and queries. Transcriptions of records, such as family Bibles or local gravestone inscriptions, would be very useful. Material related to Essex County will be given preference, but articles on genealogical methodology, record repositories, or websites would be helpful as well. Photographs of Essex County historic sites or scenery would be most welcome.

Submissions are to be sent by email in an editable Microsoft Word Document, to teg@esog.org.

Submissions should be in 12-point Times New Roman, with line spacing of 1.15. Insert a blank line between paragraphs, with no first-line indent.

Submissions should be properly cited.

The editor reserves the right to accept or reject any submission.

Submissions are received year-round, but all submissions should be received no later than one month before publication to be considered for the next issue.
