Bedfordshire Family History Society

We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Bedfordshire Family History Society. Established in 1977, the society promotes the study of genealogy and heraldry covering the Bedford area, including Luton.

Bedfordshire Family History Society has much to offer researchers with interests in this southerly part of England, such as the Society's extensive library from which attendees at the monthly meetings in Bedford can procure books on loan; and a bookstall, with over 350 publications on family history and Bedfordshire, which are also available at meetings or by post.

Best of all are the Society's own publications making Bedfordshire records more accessible to all, and the "Bedfordshire Family History Society Journal" which is distributed each quarter to members near and far with its listings of their personal family history interests, articles about research and Bedfordshire, and general information on events etc.

National Burial Index for England & Wales

The Bedfordshire Family History Society have greatly contributed to the National Burial Index for England and Wales. The entire collection includes more than 12 million records and helps you discover where your ancestor was buried, their year of death and their religious denomination.
