Pontefract and District Family History Society is an active group of family historians who live in Pontefract and the surrounding area. Most of us have family interests in the region and have good local knowledge.

We are happy to help beginners and new members alike and we welcome new subscriptions at any time of the year.

For general enquiries for the Society please contact the Chairperson
Kathryn Brophy at kathryn.brophy@btopenworld.com
