FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY

How to Join

You can join in one of three ways:

• By post, using a pre-printed application form, or

• From this web site. If you are joining from this web site, please print off the application form and complete it.

All applications by post should be sent, together with your subscription (at the current rate), to:

For new members: whatever way you choose to join, you should receive your welcoming pack within two weeks, although if you live outside the United Kingdom the time may take slightly longer because of postage delays and mail transit times.

If you require further membership information, you should write to the membership secretary, enclosing an SAE or one IRC, at the above address.

Subscription Rates

There is an annual subscription which is payable on joining, and on 1st January annually each year thereafter. Both new joins and renewals can also be paid by credit card via the On-line Family History Fair (GENfair).

If you wish, you can pay for more than one year at a time - up to a maximum of 4 years - which will protect the subscription paid from any increases in those years. For applications and renewals sent by post, we can accept certain foreign cheques as detailed under Payment Information below.

The current rates are as follows:

Applications for new membership made after 1st October annually will cover membership until 31st December of the year following, so giving more than 3 months free membership benefits.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Payment Information

Apart from credit card payments, the Society will accept payment for subscriptions, goods and services by Sterling, Australian, New Zealand and South African cheques, and US and Canadian Dollar checks, subject to the following conditions:

• These rates are not negotiable and may change from time to time.

• The discount of 10% on Bookstall orders totalling over £50 is subject to each cheque/check being converted at less than £50, and NOT placed via GENfair.

• Credit card payments can only be accepted via the On-line Family History Fair (GENfair).

Members' Interests

The Society maintains a record of members' research interests, details of which are published in the Journal. This enables persons with similar interests to contact each other. Details are requested from new members on the application form. A complete listing of members' research interests is published on microfiche every two or three years. The latest one was issued in March 1998.

This list of members' research interests is initially provided on microfiche free to all existing and to new members on joining. Non-members may purchase the fiche from the Publications list available on the HFHS Bookstall, or via the On-line Family History Fair (GENfair).

Surnames Research E-mail Addresses

There is an index of Huntingdonshire Surnames being researched by non-members and members who are email capable. These email addresses have been published on a Huntingdonshire Surnames List of research interests maintained by Graham January to help communication between researchers with common interests. You can publish your interests on this site. The Society details for new members who are email capable are also requested on the application form; if you do not want your email address published, please make this clear to the membership secretary.
