A warm welcome to you from the Buckinghamshire Family History Society. We are a group of over 1,500 family historians who have been helping each other for over 30 years. We are family historians who either have ancestors from Bucks or live there (or both!). Why not have a look around and see if we can help with your genealogy.

Visitors are very welcome to browse, site registration is restricted to Society members.

Bring Your Family Tree to Open Day
Written by Derek Ayshford   
A popular feature of Open Day in recent years has been the family trees that members bring with them for display at the venue. This is a fantastic resource for making contacts with researchers who share your interests and the showcasing of members’ family trees is very popular with other visitors.

Bill Torrens Memorial Lecture
Written by Derek Ayshford   
      Regular or occasional visitors to the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies during the last year will have missed the familiar face of Bill Torrens. Always cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable, Bill, who died far too young after a brave fight against cancer, has been sadly missed.
      Bucks Family History Society wished to acknowledge all the work Bill had done to further the research of family historians. When consulted Bill’s widow, Barbara, suggested that an annual memorial lecture would be a fitting tribute.
      The lecture this year will be given on our Open Day on  July 25th by Bill’s friend and former colleague Julian Hunt.
