About The Society:  In 1974 the "Leicestershire Family History Circle" started with a handful of members and has grown steadily ever since. By it’s 21st Birthday in 1995 the membership had reached nearly 1700. The Society changed it’s name in 1992 to incorporate the neighbouring county of Rutland, and the membership to date now exceeds 3,500!

Quarterly Journal:  Our Journal is distributed to all Members. In the Journal all new Member’s "Surname Interests" and addresses are included, enabling contact to be made between Members researching the same surnames. The majority of articles and information in the Newsletter are contributed by Members

Publications:  The Society has published many indexes which can help you with your researches. These Publications would not have been possible without the long hard work undertaken voluntarily by the Members, for which the Society is deeply appreciative.

Coach Trips:  We operate several coach trips per year to the Family Records Centre at Myddleton Place and The National Archives at KEW (formerly known as the PRO) and over the last 2 years have run tours to the Battlefields and WW1 Cemeteries in France & Belgium

Monthly Meetings:  Meetings are held in Leicester and at our five out of town groups at Market Harborough, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Hinckley and Rutland, and our new Computer group in Evington. Society Members are entitled to attend any or all of the meetings at any group

Membership of the Society is :

U.K Single £9.50 per annum (Inc.VAT)

Family £10.50 per annum (1 Newsletter per Family)(Inc.VAT)
