Introduction to the

dorset family history society

Dorset Family History Society is a member of the Federation of Family History Societies, and is for people who are interested in tracing their family history, beginners and experts alike. Dorset FHS caters for people in the UK or overseas with family interests in Dorset, as well as Dorset residents whose families may have lived in other counties or countries.

Belonging to a family history society can be a great help in finding out how to trace your ancestors and meeting other people with similar interests. Even if you have already traced your family tree for quite a long way back, a local family history society will provide interesting meetings with a range of talks on subjects that you will find useful.

A varied programme featuring expert speakers has been arranged for the year (see Programme).

Meetings on the second Monday in each month, except August, are held at:

St John's Church Hall,

Ashley Road,

Parkstone,

Poole, Dorset

8.00 pm start

This address is for Meetings only.

All enquiries should be made to the Treetops Research Centre during opening times.

A Computer Club also meets on the first Tuesday in most months at Treetops.
