Title
Cornwall Family History Society
Description
Welcome to the Cornwall Family History Society Web Site, the Society aims to become a ‘centre of excellence’ encouraging research into Cornish family history, by co-ordinating transcription and indexing of original records by its members, by maintaining a research library in Truro for members and the general public, by offering a means of contact and information exchange between members. The Society was formed in 1976 and now has over 5000 active members, mostly outside Cornwall, with many in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and other countries.
The Society is a UK registered non-profit charity, with one full-time and two part-time permanent employees. Apart from the Librarian and Journal Editor who are paid a small fee, the Library and office in Truro are staffed by volunteers. The Society is run by an eleven member Executive Committee, the Trustees of the charity.
A 40 page Journal is published quarterly, free to members, and is one of the main means of sharing contacts within our membership. The bulk of the editorial is provided by the members themselves.
