The Society was founded in 1981, with a membership of about 1,500 people worldwide. We provide contacts between members by regular meetings and through the quarterly Journal published in January, April, July and October. Members not only research their ancestors by name but, by using all available information, seek to build up a complete picture of the people in the setting in which they lived. As the Society consists of a friendly mixture of complete beginners and experienced family historians there is every opportunity for beginners to receive encouragement in their researches.
All the information available on this site has been obtained and transcribed by volunteers giving of their own free time to assist you and others. The many small notes of encouragement and thanks are always appreciated.
