Publication & Delivery The journal is published quarterly in February, May, August and November. The publication is currently delivered in print form and by electronic means. Beginning in late 2016, Relatively Speaking was delivered to all AGS members in digital format (PDF); and, those specifically subscribing to the print edition received copies in both formats.

Submissions Submissions are welcome from anyone interested in family history. A style guide for authors can be found here that offers advice and assistance as to size, accompanying images, references and subject matter. We especially encourage articles appropriate to our Mission Statement, in particular those that demonstrate how writers arrived at their conclusions and that show the sources of their data.
