Welcome to our website
Formed in 1975, the Bristol & Avon Family History Society aims to provide contacts between members by regular meetings and through a quarterly Journal to assist members with problems encountered during research work. The Society also works to promote and encourage the public study of family history, genealogy and associated interests.
B&AFHS publishes and sells a range of source/research materials, on CD, microfiche and in booklets. Some of our research material is only available on microfiche. We also sell books and maps of local interest, mainly published by other organisations. 'Shop' on the menu will give you more information.
