Pages devoted to 'Lancaster Area Heraldry'
   Is the next stage of this fast growing website.
    We are devoted to helping YOU with YOUR
                          Family History
 

The Rossendale Society for Genealogy & Heraldry
was established in Bury in April 1973.
A branch at Lancaster was formed in 1984 as the

Lancaster Family History Society
on 15th of March 1984 in Lancaster,
Harold Wilkinson
was elected our first Chairman.
Following the initial meeting at the Trades Hall on Fenton Street, Lancaster,
the branch moved to the modern
Public Library at Morecambe and adopted the name
of the Lancaster & Morecambe branch.
Since then members have accumulated a vast amount
of local knowledge relating to History & Genealogy.
The branch has transcribed most of the Parish registers
for this part of North Lancashire and there can be few
grave yards in the area that have not been recorded
by our famous team the
'Dead Club'

 

Following  our successful presentations of;
'Who do you Lancastrians think you are?'  
Commencing in 2009,
the branch meeting will also take place on
selected THURSDAY AFTERNOONS
at MORECAMBE LIBRARY 2.00 pm.

The branch usually meets on the third Thursday of each month,
at the Church Hall of the Church of the Good Shepherd
at Torrisholme, Nr. Lancaster.
Buses 2, 2a, 3 and 4 between Lancaster & Morecambe
stop in Torrisholme Square.
Good, free, Car Parking is at the Church Hall
 and in, and around, the village square.
Lancaster & Morecambe is just one of thirteen branches of the
Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society
our branches cover the Northern half of the historic County and London.
The highly populated areas of Manchester and Liverpool have their own
Family History Societies.
