The Society
The West Middlesex Family History Society, or WMFHS for short, is a Society whose main purpose is to enable its members to carry out research into their family history more effectively and enjoyably.

Meetings
The Society meets on the third Thursday of each month at Montague Hall, Montague Road, Hounslow, where a guest speaker will usually give a talk on a subject related to family history or local history. Visitors are welcome at these meetings.

Society Journal
The Society produces a quarterly journal.

Advice Sessions
The society runs advice sessions on the third Saturday of each month at Feltham Library. These are open to Society members and the general public, and help anyone hitting a brickwall with their family history research, or who is just learning the ropes how to do it.

History and members
The Society was formed in 1978, long before the internet started to provide new ways of researching into family history. The society has about 270 members (2017).

Affiliation and status
The Society is a registered charity, and is affiliated to the Federation of Family History Societies (see below).
