I am highlighting that we have joined the new social media platform Bluesky. Since Ann Greene signed us up a few weeks ago our followers have embraced our Bluesky page. As of 22nd November we already have 221 followers and it increases day by day. Why not follow us too? As it happens the Family History Federation have included an informative article on Bluesky in their latest Really Useful Bulletin. Here's the link.

Tip of the month
AI is the new thing. Does it have relevance for your family history research? Perhaps you should check out a few things. on our Research, Links, Miscellaneous page I have recently added a link to Using AI for Genealogical Research. It is a good entry point for following up how AI could help your research.


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.
