The Glasgow & West of Scotland Family History Society was founded in 1977. We aim to promote the study of family history, particularly in Glasgow and the west of Scotland, covering Argyll & Bute, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, and Stirlingshire (part).
The society is not a business and is run entirely by volunteers, who give freely of their time & goodwill to provide our services and to help others interested in researching their family history. With over 2000 members and many enquiries from non-members, we have to work very hard to keep pace with correspondence. For new members, please allow 21 days (UK & EUR) or 28 days (overseas) from dispatch of application to receipt of new member's pack, the latter serving as acknowledgement of membership.
Queries requiring research cannot be answered electronically, our website being for general information about the society and quick access to the application form.
Most of our offline services and facilities are available to members only, and we have no plans to put them online in the foreseeable future.
We do not do research for non-members, and even research for members is not our primary aim, but if you wish help or guidance with research, first complete the application form and send it with payment to the Society's address. Please note that research assistance is strictly limited and that only one query per member can be accepted at a time.
New members are always welcome and we do our best to provide a good service within our limitations.
