Joining Our Society

Our family history society was formed in 2005, after splitting from Ripon & District Family History Society.  Our membership has grown and we are organizing activities and benefits for our members who do not live in the Harrogate area.  Our website is constantly being updated and we are aiming for  members to see and submit their views as well as named interests, queries and tips.

Benefits

  • Publishing a journal named “Claro Ancestors”  three times per year
  • The committee can answer local queries submitted by email.
  • Meeting on the third Tuesday of the month (excluding August) at 7.30pm at St Paul’s Church Hall, Belford Road, Harrogate HG1 1JA , with an average attendance of 60.
