Members’ LoginAbout the Society
Our main aim is to help members trace their Montgomeryshire family histories, and those with connections in the neighbouring counties of Shropshire, Cardiganshire, Denbighshire, Merionethshire and Radnorshire.
The Society is a member of the Family History Federation and the Association of Family History Societies of Wales.
How we help
- Advice for members researching their family history
- Members’ requests for help published in our journal, Record
- Access to the Society’s library
- An index of members’ interests: the names and places members are researching, searchable in the members’ area
- Published local records of family history interest
- New transcriptions for members’ benefit: memorial inscriptions from churchyards and chapels; parish and chapel registers of baptisms, marriages and burials; and census returns
As well as publishing virtually all Montgomeryshire memorial inscriptions and parish registers, the Society has a long-running manorial documents project. It now runs to well over 100,000 records, available from no other source.
What members receive
