Family History Societies
My wife Carol and I are members of our local Family History Society here in Doncaster. We believe that becoming a member of YOUR local society should be one of the first steps towards researching your own family history.
You will meet many people with experience to share, which will give you a great start on your quest.

Family History Societies
The Federation of Family History Societies ("The Federation") is a United Kingdom-based charitable organisation. In 2019 it rebranded to the Family History Federation
Its stated principal aims are "to co-ordinate and assist the work of societies or other bodies interested in family history, genealogy and heraldry; to foster the spirit of mutual co-operation, by sponsoring projects in these fields".
Its membership consists of over 170 family history societies and similar genealogical organisations. It publishes The National Burial Index from data supplied largely by family history societies.
Good Luck
Carol & Jim
