DEVON FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY 

We promote the study of genealogy and history, especially of Devon families and places, providing help and advice at meetings, fairs, our research centre and via our website. We actively encourage the preservation and transcription of relevant documents and records, especially for the county of Devon.
