Members' Interests

What are Members' Interests?

Members' Interests should be the particulars of those people from whom you, or the member of your family being researched, are directly descended.

You are invited to submit the details of your interests for publication in the Section's journal The Yorkshire Family Historian and for inclusion in subsequent Members' Interests publications. Every issue of the Journal contains a list of all new Members' Interests. These are in the form of a separate pull out section.

Please note that this service is only available to members.

How to Register Interests

You can register your interests in two ways:

1.  Fill in and return the form you receive when you join the Section, using the guide provided.

2.  Download and print the Members' Interests Form and complete using the Guide.

Chapman Codes

The universally accepted Chapman Codes are three letter codes used to represent county and country names and must be used when filling in the Members' Interests form. If you download a form the codes are included.
