ABOUT THE SOCIETY

THE SOCIETY’S HISTORY & FACILITIES

The Society began in life in 1974 as the Leicester Family History Circle. It quickly

grew and was later renamed the Leicestershire Family History Society. In 1992

Rutland was incorporated into the Society and the name changed to the

Leicestershire & Rutland Family History Society.

The society is run by a group of Trustees who are elected annually by members at the A.G.M. They serve on the Executive Committee and are required to undertake specific duties. Any member can apply for nomination to the Executive Committee.

With the present membership of around 2,600 the LRFHS has the capacity of offer a wide range of services and activities to assist family history historians and researchers.

L.R.F.H.S GROUPS

We have seven groups of the Society which are all run by Sub-Committees who organise monthly meetings with talks on a wide range of family history subjects. They are located in Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, Rutland and the Computer Group who meet bi-monthly.
