The GRD began in hard copy book form in 1981 and expanded in both size and content.

The 2007 Directory contains:


• 608 pages.
• Over 60,000 research queries from contributors. Each edition contains only newly submitted entries. They are not extracted from other publications.
• Name and address of over 2,500 contributors in many countries.
• An up-dated list of over 7000 genealogical societies worldwide, giving their library hours, membership fees, details of journals/newsletters, meetings & office bearers.
• One Name Study and Family Societies listing.
• A selection of professional services available worldwide.
• A special category section containing specific SUBJECT ENTRIES.

Many people prefer reference works in hard copy. The GRD is available in BookForm (both Paperback and Hard Cover) as well as CD ( Windows PC, not Mac) (See: To Order ).

Back issues of the queries sections from GRD 1990-1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 have been published on CD-ROMS.
