Memberships are classified as "active" or "inactive." If a member does not pay dues for a given year, that member is considered "inactive" and will not receive newsletters.

Membership in the Association entitles one to:

• Name search from our computer files, lineage information to the extent known and family group sheets for at least 3 generations with accompanying sources and notes;
• Active members receive newsletters throughout the year;
• Discounts on all publications of The Brantley Association;
• A complete collection of bible records, books, letters, photo collections, reports, videos and wills are available for members for nominal charges.

Members of the Association should understand the the Association was established as a nation-wide effort to tie together the descendants of Edward Brantley of 1638.  Membership in the Association carries the expectation that members consider themselves honor bound to share with others any new information on Brantleys discovered during their own research.
