Societies and organizations that emphasize genealogy and family history may be able to provide information of value to your genealogical research. Some societies are set up on a county-wide basis; others cover a portion of a county. This section discusses only English societies, but do not overlook societies in the country your ancestors moved to. | Societies and organizations that emphasize genealogy and family history may be able to provide information of value to your genealogical research.
