Other benefits include:

  • Monthly hybrid (in room & online) meetings with superb guest speakers

  • Access to our members only area, which includes:
    • Video library – past monthly talks recorded on Zoom
    • Access to our 1.6 million + names database containing local parish and other records NEW SEPTEMBER 2023

Apply to join DDFHS

On joining the Society, you will receive a welcome pack, containing various leaflets including Forthcoming Events, Publications List and a Members’ Surname Interest form, useful for making contact with other members researching the same surnames.

NOTE:

NEW Members, irrespective of the chosen membership, will initially receive the e-journal access unless you join in time for the next printed journal to be sent to you.

You will then receive the printed version the following quarter.

We are implementing this approach to help us reduce costs, which we would have to pass on to our members.
