West Middlesex Family History Society

Image of the month Having just ordered the Big Y700 package from FamilyTree DNA I am looking foward to being able to see my own Globetrekker page. What the map shows is the full set of haplogroups that FamilyTree DNA has going backwards from yourself. Each Globetrekker map is therefore different. Adam on the chart shows the oldest haplogroup identified for your own ancestry, and may date back 1000's of years. Then follow the arrows for how your male ancestry leads to yourself. The slide is from Martin McDowell's presentation on 'Why do a Y-DNA test' on December 20th. The talk will be written up in our December journal.

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.
