Family history societies

Joining a family history society can be a good opportunity to access the journal and newsletters of the society in the areas you're interested in.

Most societies include a members' interest section, where you can share the name you're researching. You may find others with the same interest.

The family history society for Southwark is the East Surrey Family History Society

There may be overlapping interest with neighbouring areas covered by the West Surrey Family History Society and North-West Kent Family History Societies
