Manchester and Lancashire fhs

MLFHS is a large, thriving family history society covering roughly the larger area of Greater Manchester and its surrounds and with additional branches local to Oldham, Bolton, Anglo-Scots and Irish Ancestry (resting at present). The Society and its branches held 50 meetings in 2022, online, in-person and hybrid, and continued with the preservation and transcription of old records, supported by a large team of volunteers. Our website “Manchester Ancestors” holds over 3.2 million records in our searchable databases and a further 7,000 records were added in November alone; records as diverse as monumental inscriptions, admissions to the Royal Manchester School for the Deaf and Dumb, RC church record transcriptions, wartime blackout fines and early local vehicle registrations. By joining our society you can access all databases and the documents collections, attend any of our meetings, ask questions in our online forum, receive our quarterly journal and, if you are local or visiting Manchester, call at our public helpdesk run by our very experienced volunteers, five days a week, at Manchester Central Library. All this for just £15 a year which also includes membership for another family member.
