The
Kent Family History Society was formed in June, 1974 and now
has approximately 4,000 members Worldwide. The Society publishes
an informative quarterly journal which is sent free to members. It has an extensive Library open to members to visit or to borrow from. It has
over 2,000 research publications available on microfiche and has also now started to produce CD's of local information all of which are available for sale to
members and non-members.
There are
six active branches of the Society in Kent with the latest branch
at Deal having been opened in the year 2000. In addition, a
Branch has been opened in New Zealand and for those members
in any part of the World, the arrival of the Internet has allowed
for the creation of "The Global Branch".
It is the enthusiasm of the Global members that have pushed
for the opening of the Society's own Web site, strongly supported
by the Chairman and Officers of the Executive Committee.
The site
will be expanded to contain information to help all our existing
members and is also here to assist potential members in finding
details for joining an extremely active and interesting Society.
