Established in 1989, the aim of Fife Family History Society is to bring people together who are interested in discovering more about their Fife ancestors.
Members of the Society come from the local area, other areas of Scotland, the rest of the UK and across the world.
Joining Fife Family History Society means that you are able to meet like-minded people who share the same interest in genealogy and family history, and that you can help each other with your genealogical research. The Society helps members where they can.
