WHO WE ARE

We are a locally run Society which was started by a few individual members who were interested in researching Family History. With help from such companies as Faraway Furniture, we are able to continue our work. Originally with just an interest in Keighley, it soon became apparent that the outlying districts were very interested and the Society gradually expanded until now we cover quite a lot of the County, especially North Yorkshire as will be seen from the map. We also have members from various countries round the globe and communicate with them regularly via the Journal and the Exchange Journals we receive from other Societies.

The history of the family and its background is the subject of our research, helping members to find out details of their own families. We are a member of the Federation of Family History Societies, being willing to promote their aims and help and encourage those who feel as we do.
