Buckinghamshire Family History Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buckinghamshire Family History Society (often shortened to Bucks FHS) is a Family History Society that covers the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. The society was created in 1976.
The society has just under 2,000 members worldwide and produces a quarterly journal called Origins. It also compiles databases that assist with tracing genealogy in Bucks including a marriage index that is complete up to 1837, baptism and burial indexes (ongoing), an index of Buckinghamshire people and an index of wills. There is also an ongoing project to transcribe Buckinghamshire parish registers of which a selection are available to purchase. In 2006 a new project started to digitise School Record Books.
Local members of the society meet every month in three locations across the county, in Bletchley, in Aylesbury and in Bourne End.
Bucks FHS is a member of the Federation of Family History Societies.
