Family history societies often publish helpful journals, transcripts, compiled genealogies and host helpful websites. They may have ongoing projects to transcribe records and create indexes. Most societies publish queries in their journals and maintain lists of members’ research interests that may be helpful to you. You may want to join one of these societies, reap the benefits of their expertise and resources, or support its efforts.  

:The Border Counties History Collective is an association of history groups in the border counties of Fermanagh, Cavan, and Leitrim.  The Collective aims to promote co-operation between local history groups on a cross-border basis and to support their practical needs through training and the provision of information and advice.

:The Society was founded as a non-political and non-sectarian historical society to promote interest in and the study of the local history of the ancient kingdom of Breifne.  The territory of Breifne was, in medieval times, ruled over by the O’Rourke and the O’Reilly chieftains and it corresponds to most of the present day counties of Cavan, Leitrim and south Fermanagh, as well as  to the ecclesiastical diocese of Kilmore.  The Society hosts a series of lectures each year on various aspects of local and Irish history generally.  It also organizes an annual tour to some place of historical interest. These tours normally take place in the summer months.  The Society  publishes a journal called ‘Breifne’ which is published in April or May of each year.  The first journal was published in 1958 and forty-three journals have been published since then.  It is now recognized as one of the best and most reputable local history journals in Ireland.

:Clogher Historical Society is a group of people and institutions who share a common interest in the local history of the southern border area, especially the diocese of Clogher.  The Society promotes local history in the counties of Fermanagh, Monaghan, South Tyrone, and parts of South Donegal and West Louth.
