Waltham Forest Family History Society
The Waltham Forest Family History Society was founded in 1978 to bring together and to encourage people with an interest in family history and genealogy. We are a small but friendly society that caters for all those with South West Essex ancestry who might live at a distance, and for those who live locally but whose ancestors came from elsewhere.
The Society has
- regular talks on family and local history
- workshops to discuss particular topics
- visits to archives and museums
- twice-yearly journal Roots in the Forest
- collection of magazines and local records
- projects to transcribe MIs and local records
- FMP discount
Our next meeting, on 14th May will be a workshop on DNA tests, interpreting results and breakthroughs made.
You can search our records on-line at records.wffhs.org.uk

Transcriptions of the St Andrew's, Higham Hill marriage registers up to 1934 have been added to the database.
