The Society now has a Members’ Area on its website containg information resourses. Please take a moment to read this page and the Members' Area FAQ page before clicking on the link below.

Login

Non-members may carry out an initial search on our data but to view the record details you will need to be a Member. If you are not a Member and wish to view the data please click here for details of how to join however you are still able to search the database to see what may be available.

How to start

Try a Quick Search to quickly find a person across all datasets or, for a better chance of getting good results, click on the search link or advanced options.

Login and view data

To view data, Members will need to login using the Username and Password areas in the left hand panel Members’ Area.

See the information at the top of this page on how to login.

Once you have finished with your session please ensure that you logout and if you are using the Members Area from a public area please ensure that you close the Internet browser at the same time.

Annual membership of the Society costs roughly as much as a dinner for two at a restaurant. Your subscription will help the charity to maintain and expand the largest family history library in the UK and digitise more of its collections. Click on the Membership tab above for more information including all the other benefits of joining.

Please Note

Every reasonable effort has been made to check the accuracy of the transcriptions. However, in view of the very large number of entries, it is possible that a few errors will have crept in. If so, we regret this but can accept no responsibility for any distraction that this may introduce. If you spot any errors then please let us know by emailing the details to the SoG Library - email.

The panel on the left also has links to what is currently available and also some of the databases that we hope to add in the future.
