'''''The Genealogist''''' is a bi-annual genealogical journal founded in 1980 by Neil D. Thompson, a fellow of the American Society of Genealogists (ASG). Articles are published in full detail, including references. The journal allows shorter articles, but focuses on articles that are often too large or complex for other genealogical publishing forums. Each issue has a minimum of 128 pages.<ref name=ASG01>{{Cite web |accessdate=March 1, 2015 |url=http://fasg.org/the-genealogist/ |title=The Genealogist |author= |publisher=American Society of Genealogists |year=1980}}</ref>
