Membership Subscriptions

The Somerset & Dorset Family History Society has around 1,500 members worldwide. Most of our members are people tracing their family history in one or both of the two counties but we also have members who have joined because they are interested in local history in our area or because they are researching families elsewhere but live locally and appreciate the advantages of having easy access to the expertise of our many experienced volunteers.

Our subscription year corresponds to the calendar year and whenever you join during the year, you will receive all four issues of our quarterly journal The Greenwood Tree. Members who join after 31 October in any year are assumed to be joining for the following calendar year. You will become a member immediately, so your first subscription will cover 14 months, but you will not receive any journals until the following year. E.g. If you join after 31 October 2022, you will not receive the 2022 journals and the first issue you receive will be that for March 2023.

Please choose the relevant category, depending on whether you live in the UK or Overseas and would like to take out an individual or family (two people at the same address) subscription. You may also subscribe for three-years (expiring at the end of 2024 if you join for 2022) and you will receive a discount on paying three annual subscriptions.
