Introduction
The society had its beginnings in a family history group formed in Bangor in 1979. Over the years as the interest in genealogy has grown the group has been joined by other Branches in the North of Ireland to form the Society and now has hundreds of members worldwide.
The objective of the Society is to foster an interest in family history with special reference to families who have roots in the North of Ireland and their descendants, wherever they may be.
The NIFHS is a voluntary, non profit making organisation,
depending on the financial support of amateurs doing Family History and
volunteer effort in running the society.
The society is not a Research Agency, although we do like to put people in contact with one another.
