West Middlesex Family History Society

Home

Image of the month
St. George's, Hanworth is our most recently completed survey of memorial inscriptions. Members can find the document of MIs on the Digital Library page, and can search for specific inscriptions using the Memorial Inscriptions Search page. The inscription and a photograph are provided for each memorial.

Tip of the month
In February My Heritage introduced their Colorise Your Heritage facility whereby you can select any black and white image for colorisation and their web page would instantly transform the image to full colour. This month they have introduced a similar feature caled MyHeritage Photo Enhancer which is specifically designed to recognise facial features in an image, and produce a clearer digitally enhanced photo. Give it a try.

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.
