Coventry Family History Society

We are pleased to be working in partnership with Coventry Family History Society which covers family history interests in the Coventry area of Warwickshire.

Coventry Family History Society was formed in 1994 to cover family history interests in this area of Warwickshire, and has a membership of about 350.

The Society holds monthly meetings at the Old Coventrians RFC in Coventry where members can hear a variety of speakers, seek advice, and enjoy meeting like-minded people.

The quarterly distribution of the “Coventry FHS Journal” provides items of local interest, general genealogical information, events and activities of the Society, and an opportunity to publish personal family history interests.
