About Us

RFHS Logo Rotherham Family History Society (RFHS) and rotherhamfhs.co.uk are the physical and web presence of Rotherham Family History Society. The Society was formed to bring together the Family History Community in Rotherham and the surrounding area. RFHS offers a forum and marketplace, which offers its members the opportunity to meet other like minded people in a friendly atmosphere conducive to the futherment of their Geneological interests. RFHS also offers a commerce service to create and sell a wide variety of reference products, and offers members unique merchandise across virtually every Family History topic from Census indexes to Old Photographs.

Formed in 1983, RFHS has gone from strength to strenghth and now has well over 400 local, national and international members.

rotherhamfhs.co.uk is planned to become the Society's web storefront for its range of Books, CD's, Maps and other products. The first on-line product to be rolled out will be membership renewal with secure on-line payment processing, via PayPal. This will be closely followed by a range of our most popular books;other products will follow as the website develops.

Rotherham Family History Society is operated and managed by a team of dedicated volunteers who give up their time to provide Society members with the best resources possible for the advancement of their hobby. All on-line services are manned by the same team of people, therefore instant responses to enquiries and orders may not always be possible, please be patient and you will receive a reply as soon as we are able to answer.
