CUMBRIA FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY
The Cumbria Family History Society was founded to help members carry out their
family history researches and our area of interest is the modern county of
Cumbria,
which is the old counties of Cumberland and Westmorland and a part of
Northern Lancashire and North Yorkshire.
The society produces a quarterly
Newsletter, which is sent by post to all members in February, May, August,
November. Contributions to the Newsletter are always welcome.
The Publishing
programme covers a range of Cumbrian topics including the 1851 census for the whole county, Memorial Inscriptions, Carlisle Marriage Bonds, Probate and Burial Indexes, Place names, Strays, and a few Parish Registers transcripts.
Quarterly meetings are held in London for members in the South East.
Regular weekend and one day conferences are held in Cumbria.
See the activities page or the Notice Board for current details.
The Society is a member of the Federation of Family History Societies,
the North West Group of Family History Societies, the Association of Scottish Family History Societies,
the Lancashire Parish Register Society, and a founder member of the Friends of Cumbria Archives.
The Society is also a Registered Charity in the United Kingdom, No 518393.
