In this time of restrictions to normal life you might like to start or expand your family history research. 

WE can help!

There is a wealth of information and advice available on, or via, our website or through our Facebook page.

For beginners, in particular, visit the Research Resources section and read our ‘Intro to Family History’ and the brief guide to the most useful websites, especially the free ones.  Here is the link

Research Resources

Any general advice or specific questions can be sent to our volunteers at a number of email addresses to be found on our ‘contacts page’ – particularly these researchadvice@bafhs.org.uk and researchroom@bafhs.org.uk   We will try to help as best we can at present without access to our Research Room at Bristol Archives which is closed.  

General enquiries about the Society should be sent to vice-chair or secretary.  

Our public meetings have been cancelled for the next few months and the Society’s AGM, scheduled for June, has been provisionally rearranged for September 14^th.  Our June Journal is in production and we hope it will be with members as near to the normal time as possible, obviously subject to external factors outside our control.
