A warm welcome to you from Buckinghamshire Family History Society. Founded in 1976, we are a group of over 1,500 family historians who have been helping each other with their research. Have a look around and see if we can help with your genealogy. Visitors are welcome to browse, registration is restricted to Society members.
Open Day 29th July 2017
The Society’s Open Day is also Buckinghamshire's major family history event
. It’s the day when all of the Society's research libraries will be available in one place, including the Buckinghamshire names database, containing well over five million entries taken from parish registers, wills, census returns and many other documents. The database is fully searchable – come along and let us help you track down that elusive ancestor.
Our parish register transcripts and other publications will be on sale, and there will be lots of help and advice available from friendly, experienced family historians.
Open Day 2017 Exhibitors
We, and the following organizations, look forward to meeting you at The Grange School in July:
Exchange Journals
Journals of other Family History Societies are now available on our website. For many years FHSs have exchanged paper copies of their magazines and journals. As Societies move to exchange digital copies we are able to put these on our website so our members can read them. Paper copies were only available at Society meetings or by post so many more of our members now have access to them.
May 2017 - Added Queensland FHS
