Dorset Family History Society

Whether you are just starting out on your family history journey or are a seasoned researcher, if you have ancestors from Dorset, then the Dorset Family History Society will be able to help you. From the census in 1841 to that taken in 1891, the records are available here. Photographs abound so that you can see where your ancestors once lived; read about Dorset airfields in the Second World War; compare maps of how Dorset once was with how it is today.

If you are unable to undertake your family history research in person, then the Dorset Family History Society can help you. Why not become a member and find out about others who are also researching their ancestors from Dorset.

Please note that our Sales Co-ordinator is on holiday for the period 5th - 19th June so orders may be delayed during that period.
