WELCOME to the website of The Cambridgeshire Family History Society (CFHS), a long established (in 1976) charity with the specific aim of supporting the family historian who wishes to research Cambridgeshire family history.

We offer access to databases of millions of names collected from a variety of sources including registration offices, parish records, military lists, non-conformist sources, shipping information and wills. If you are new to family research, we will help you trace your ancestors.

We also have an on-line shop which offers hundreds of CD-ROM, books, pamphlets and fiches. You can receive your copy of parish records etc in the post within days.

Finally, we have a membership of some 1400 members from all over the world who receive a quarterly journal packed with interesting articles as well as the chance to partake in interesting tours and meetings. Click Here to review the Aims of the CFHS.


             

The Joy of Family Research

(snippets from Cambridgeshire history)

"Newmarket: King Charles II was the first monarch who entered horses and ran them in his own name; he rebuilt the house here for his better accommodation, and frequently honoured the races with his presence. While the Court were here in 1683 the town was nearly destroyed by an accidental fire, when the King, Queen, and Duke of York, hastily returning to London, is said to have been the means of defeating the Rye House plot. (Great Britain)"
