Family History Society (HFHS) was founded in 1985 to help people to find out about
their family history. The county reorganisation in 1974 saw Huntingdonshire become
part of a greater Cambridgeshire. We now have a membership of over 350, the majority
of whom live outside the old county. The Society aims to provide links between
people interested in families of the old County of Huntingdonshire and to provide
a forum for persons interested in genealogy generally. In this respect it fully
recognises the needs of those members who cannot easily get to research in Huntingdon,
and so constantly is taking account of the advances in information technology
to make information more easily available. It actively supports the HUNTINGDON and
ENGLISH-FENS Genealogy Mailing List as a forum for discussion on this county.
The needs of those who do not have access to new technology is not ignored, and
information on new developments is covered in the Journal (see below). It is a
Society for the beginner and the experienced genealogist alike.
The
Society is a member of the Federation of Family
History Societies, and is a supporter of the Genealogy UK and Ireland (GENUKI) information
service. It also receives publications of many UK and overseas societies by exchange.
These are added to the rapidly growing library. At evening meetings there is a
bookstall with a wide range of genealogical publications; these publications
can also be purchased by mail order.
The
Society's email address is: huntsfhs@genfair.com. Officers of the Society are listed separately.
Records
for Huntingdonshire are kept at the Record
Office Huntingdon and other documentation such as old photographs,
etc., at the Huntingdonshire
Collection. |
