Image of the month
This is a view of St. Mary's, Ealing from the church garden east of the church. Recording the memorials at St. Mary's was started in March 2021, but restricted access to the church meant that the project could not be completed until April this year. All is now done. A copy of the Memorial Inscriptions document can be viewed from out Digital Library page along with the other MI survey documents, and the inscriptions may be searched from our Memorials Search page.

Tip of the month
The Family History Federation (FHF) have now produced 9 issues of their Really Useful Bulletin. The bulletin always includes current family history news, and provides profiles of some of the affiliated family history societies. There is often a particular focus, which in Issue 9 is on War Records. Each new issue of the bulletin is recorded on our Notice Board page together with a link to where FHF provide the bulletin, and which includes the option to subscribe for future issues.

Our aims
The Society aims to encourage and assist those involved in the study of family history and genealogy in the western part of the ancient English county of Middlesex. See also our Objectives page.

Using this website
The website contains much information about the Society, and provides general assistance in providing links to other websites of use to family historians. You may explore the site using the menus above, including to use the Sitemap, where you can see all our pages at a glance.

For example under Research and Indexes you will find pages which tell you which members of the Society hold some of our special assets, Parish Registers, Indexes relating to Places, and other General Indexes.

New members
We are always keen to welcome new members. Benefits of membership include attending our monthly meetings at St. John's Centre in Isleworth, where you can meet like-minded souls, many of whom have been enjoying this hobby for a long while. You will also receive a copy of our Quarterly Journal. Joining instructions may be found on our How to join the Society page. Attending our meetings is free, and you may come as a guest just to see what goes on, if you wish. Cost of membership is a modest £15 per annum.
