West Middlesex Family History Society Journal

The Society publishes a journal four times each year which is distributed to all members. This contains a mix of articles written by members about their family history research in the area, on record sources and research methods, and on aspects of local history in West Middlesex. It also includes details of Society meetings, projects and services, and local and national family history news. A Help! section for those seeking assistance and surname interests of new members are also regular features. It is recognised that the Journal is the main link with the Society for many members who live outside the West Middlesex area and every effort is made to keep them abreast of local news and society information.

Articles showing different angles of research into family or local history, views on national and international family history matters and aspects of members' own family research are always needed for the Journal. These do not necessarily have to be long or complete articles. Contributions are always welcome and should be submitted to the Editor by post or email (see Contacts). Please note that the deadlines for receipt of materials for possible inclusion in the quarterly issues of the Journal are 15 January, 15 April, 15 July and 15 October.

Back-copies of the Journal may be accessed at any of the six copyright libraries in the UK (The British Library, The Bodleian Library, Cambridge University Library, The National Library of Scotland, The National Library of Wales, The Library of Trinity College Dublin) at any of the libraries that subscribe as corporate members, at the Society of Genealogists Library or through the many other family history societies with which we exchange journals.
