Aims and Objectives
Huntingdonshire
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: mailto:bookstall@huntsfhs.org.uk. 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.
