About the Society

The society is for all those who want to trace their ancestors. Members include people who live on the Isle of Wight but whose families came from elsewhere as well as those with island ancestry who may live on the mainland or abroad.
Whether you are a longstanding member of the Society or just browsing we hope that you will find something to interest you on our pages.
