The Family History Society of Cheshire

For over 50 years FHSC has offered a warm welcome to those wanting to explore the who, when, why, and where of their Cheshire roots. No matter what stage you are at on your family history journey we can help.

With 13 separate groups across the county and helpdesks in many local libraries, FHSC provides a local touch, especially for those preferring face-to-face interactions. Our 2 research centres house extensive libraries with a wealth of Cheshire specific information much of it unique to FHSC, access to online genealogical databases and staffed by knowledgeable volunteers who offer guidance, advice, and support.

Our virtual Seminars, workshops and Research Buddies meetings mean there are no geographic barriers at FHSC, thus enhancing the accessibility of educational and collaborative opportunities and creating a global ‘Cheshire’ community. On top of that, our comprehensive website, monthly newsletter, quarterly journal, and dynamic social media platforms contribute to a robust online presence. This allows members to access a variety of resources and stay informed about all the latest developments in the genealogy world. All-in-all FHSC fosters a vibrant community for members, both locally and globally, to enjoy in the pursuit of their family history research.
