ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION:
ITS AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

HOW IT IS
ACHIEVING
ITS AIMS

The Association was formed in 1981 as a grouping of the Family History Societies which then existed within Wales. Its constitution states its Aims and Objectives are:

to promote the study of family history and genealogy of Wales:
to co-ordinate and support the activities of the Family History Societies in Wales;
to promote and secure publication of material of particular interest and usefulness to family historians researching Welsh ancestry;
to liaise with its affiliate members and other appropriate bodies in order to represent the interests and needs of its member societies.

A fifth objective, underlying and supporting all of these, is to improve public access to the archival material in Wales, both at local and at national levels.

The Association's badge is
the Celtic Tree of Life,
growing from the Red Dragon
which is looking backwards.

The Association regrets that it does not have the resources to assist with research. Instead, we suggest you visit the web-site of the member society covering the area or county in Wales that you are interested in. Alternatively, visit the Relative Links website through the link button at the top of the page: that site provides recommended links to useful websites for researching in Wales and elsewhere.
