How can we help you? We will help you to find documented facts about the lives of your former family members which will unlock doors to your own personal family story. Although we do specialise in Somerset and Dorset and have extensive records from our two counties, our experienced Research Volunteers have skills which can help you trace your family roots, regardless of where they might have originated.
Broadway House Family History Centre, our home in Yeovil, is an ideal location in the centre of the town.
Online talks are being hosted by some of our local Groups, giving us the opportunity to engage with our members and the family history community worldwide.
Are you looking for family history publications? Why not try looking in our on-line shop. We have a wide range of books and CDs relating to both Somerset and Dorset, as well as more general family-history and local-history publications.

Today I’ve been piecing together the biography of Frederick George Manning, who was convicted along with his wife Maria for the murder of Patrick O’Connor in 1849. He was born in 1821 in Taunton and worked as a guard for GWR. He had known links to the local criminal fraternity.
