*Institutions do not have members-only access. Institutions receive one copy of the Nebraska Ancestree to share among their members or to post in their library. Institutions may get a vendor discount at NSGS annual events.
*Digital memberships do not get a printed copy of the "Nebraska Ancestree", but rather may read it by viewing online or downloading from this website under members only (after logging in) and "secure downloads".
