Carmarthenshire Societies

Family history societies often publish helpful journals, transcripts, compiled genealogies and host helpful websites. They may have ongoing projects to transcribe records and create indexes. Most societies publish queries in their journals and maintain lists of members’ research interests that may be helpful to you. You may want to join one of these societies, reap the benefits of their expertise and resources, or support its efforts.

Addresses of the societies are for the most part where their meetings are held as they are by-and-large not brick-and-mortar institutions.

 * The Carmarthenshire Family History Society was formed in 1998 to help people research ancestors from the county. Run by members, it doesn’t hold meetings. Instead members get access to a website full of material from the county and beyond often transcribed from the Carmarthenshire Archives by volunteers.
