Today in History

On 05 February, 1679
Baptised this day in High Wycombe Robert son of Thomas & Elizabeth RICHARDSON

A warm welcome to you from the Buckinghamshire Family History Society. Founded in 1976, we are a group of over 2,000 family historians who have been helping each other with their research. 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.

Alan Dell at the 2010 BucksFHS Open Day-thumbnailIt is with great sadness that we have to inform Society members that our President Alan Dell F.S.G (Fellow of the Society of Genealogists) passed away peacefully on Thursday morning after a short illness. Alan was one of our founder members and past Chairman, editor of Origins (winning the prestigious FFHS "Simpson Award") and Publications Manager amongst a long list of roles in which he helped the Society over almost thirty five years.

The Big Certificate Rip-off
Written by Derek Ayshford   

The Identity & Passport Service has warned: don't pay too much for your replacement birth certificates. See their advice here

This applies equally to other certificates.

When using commercial websites to find an index entry for a birth, marriage or death registration it can be tempting to click on a conveniently placed link to order a certificate. However it will almost certainly be cheaper(or at least the same) to go the official government site to order
