LINCOLNSHIRE FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY
The Society covers the ancient county of Lincolnshire and exists to aid anyone with ancestors from Lincolnshire. We accept members from anywhere in the world; hold local meetings; work at local record repositories to help preserve and make accessible archive material. Our research centre is a repository for the results of our own work and a place where members and non-members may come to research.
