The Cumbria Family History Society was founded to help members carry out their genealogy researches and our area of interest is the county of Cumbria, which comprises the old counties of Cumberland and Westmorland and a part of Northern Lancashire and North Yorkshire.
We organise transcription projects for parish records, monumental inscriptions and census returns, and make the ensuing Publications available for sale
We produce high quality quarterly Newsletters sent by post or electronically to all members.
We organise Events (in person and via Zoom).
All our activities are described on the Society page.
If you are interested in Cumbrian Family History we hope that you will join us.
