| The Family History Society of Cheshire | The Family History Society of Cheshire (FHSC) was founded in 1969 to advance the study of family history and genealogy, and we now have around 3000 members worldwide. As well as helping people with ancestors in Cheshire, we also assist members living locally whose ancestors originated elsewhere. |
| North Cheshire Family History Society | The Society was founded in 1976 to bring together those who are interested in the study of their family history, to give lectures about the availability of records and how to use them and to hold discussion meetings at which more experienced members can help beginners; to further genealogy and co-ordinate research and the transcription of records. They cover all areas in and around Stockport, Hazel Grove, Bramhall, Hyde, Stalybridge, Mottram in Longdendale, Sale, Wilmslow, Altrincham, Knutsford and Macclesfield. |
| South Cheshire FHS | The South Cheshire Family History Society was formed in July 1990. In 2003 they merged back with the Family History Society of Cheshire to become their Crewe Group. |
