Gloucestershire Family History Society

We are pleased to be working in partnership with the Gloucestershire Family History Society.

If your ancestors came from any part of Gloucestershire in the south west of England, whether the Cotswolds, the Severn Vale or the Forest of Dean, then we are the society for you. If you live in the county, but your ancestors came from elsewhere, the society is also for you.

Our members receive a quarterly journal containing articles on Gloucestershire family history. We hold monthly meetings in Gloucester, Stroud, Cirencester, and the Forest of Dean where you can learn more about methods of tracing your ancestry, and perhaps meet unknown distant cousins.

Vital records

The Gloucestershire Family History Society have made valuable contributions to our collection of vital records for Gloucester, including records of baptisms, marriages and burials. If you have ancestry in the Gloucestershire area, then these record sets will prove vital to your family history research.

The society has also contributed to the National Burial Index.

Additional information from the society

Knowledgeable staff are available to welcome you and offer help at our family history centre, also in Gloucester. We offer a huge range of research facilities which cover not just this county, but every part of the UK. In addition we have many products for sale, and offer search services in our indexes.
