Genealogical Society of Allegany County, Maryland

THE OLD PIKE POST is the Society's quarterly newsletter. It is mailed to all members. Included in the newsletter are queries (no charge), names of other members (for networking purposes), stories of genealogical interest, historical items of note, and lists of new publications obtained by the Society, among other items.

Back issues of the Old Pike Post are available for purchase. There are four issues per year, and as of this year (2024) there are 39 previous years of issues. The first six years the newsletter was published in a legal-sized format, and is usually just a couple of pages long. From the seventh year forward, the Old Pike Post was published in a traditional format, and is usually ten pages long. The latter years are often 12-14 pages in length. Costs are as follows:

Volumes 1 through 6 - $1.50 each issue, four issues per volume
Volumes 7 through 36 - $2.00 each issue, four issues per volume
