The Family History Society of Cheshire (FHSC) was founded in 1969 to advance the study of family history and genealogy, and we now have around 3000 members worldwide. As well as helping people with ancestors in Cheshire, we also assist members living locally whose ancestors originated elsewhere. There are now seventeen Groups based throughout the county, and the number is growing. Each group arranges its own programme of meetings and activities, and members of the Society are welcome to attend the meetings of any group. We also hold open days for all members at various venues throughout Cheshire
