Caithness Family History Society
Caithness Family History Society was formed in 1999 by a small group of family history enthusiasts and now includes an international membership. The aim is to promote an interest in genealogy and to support those seeking to trace their family roots, particularly where there are Caithness connections.
The society holds monthly talks, some virtual (except in July and August) on the second Tuesday of the month. Members and non-members are welcome to attend.
