Society Aims
To Advance Education and Research through promoting and encouraging
the public study of Family History, Genealogy and Local History in

The Society has a full syllabus of talks, presentations and workshops for its members (including induction packs for new members) and an annual visit to a place of historical significance for family historians.
There are about nine meetings each session with an average attendance

We publish a Society Journal twice a year which is distributed to members in
the UK and abroad by email and post. The journal is also made available
