If you are not a member of our Society already, why not join? Membership is open to anyone, anywhere in the world and as a minimum you receive our quarterly journal mailed direct.
You can then attend the monthly meetings held at each of our three branches (Bromley, Dartford and Sevenoaks), and can purchase books and listen to a wide variety of talks. All members are welcome to attend any or all of the branch meetings at no extra cost. Other advantages of membership are listed on the Home page.
Members are encouraged to send in a list of the surnames they are researching, there's a form for this purpose in the membership pack that you receive after you join. These surnames are then published in the Journal. If you'd also like your surnames to appear on the website, you'll need to do this as a separate exercise - please see the Surnames being Researched pages.
Membership categories are for Individuals and Families and costs are currently:
| Membership Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Individual | £10 per year |
| Family | £12 per year (sharing one journal) |
| Library | £12 per year |
Subscriptions are renewable on 1st January annually. However, if you join the Society between 1st October and 31st December, your initial subscription remains valid until the end of the following year.
We can accept, by post, up to four years subscription in a single payment to reduce the cost of obtaining sterling cheques. If joining the society you can do this using the application form (link below); if renewing your membership please post this payment to Maureen Griffiths, details below.
Subscriptions may be paid by Cheque, Postal Order or Credit Card.

| Credit Card | To join or renew please visit the Federation of Family History Societies online bookshop at: www.genfair.com (Section 7 at bottom of page). We regret there is a £1 surcharge to our normal subscription rates when paying by credit card to cover the cost of the service. Library subscribers should complete the Family option. |
