Northumberland and Durham Family History Society

Research Centre / Library is back online

The Society’s Research Centre is up and running. A new fibre-optic cable has been installed into our office and this has fixed the issues with the telephones and internet.

The Society, founded in 1975, promotes interest in family history amongst its members and the general public. We invite you to consider joining and to visit our Research Centre with its library and other research facilities.

We have branches in Blyth, Belmont (Durham), Consett, Hexham, London, Newcastle,  Wansbeck, North Tyneside, South Tyneside.

We have a wide range of publications, parish records in particular, for sale.
