Welcome To Cleveland FHS

A  Happy New Year to everyone and let’s hope that in 2021 we get back to normal, can resume proper socialising and hopefully our meetings at Hartlepool and Sedgefield. Most importantly, we hope it is a healthy new year for everyone.

Welcome to the Cleveland Family History Society. Here you can see the South Durham and North Yorkshire area of North East England covered by our group.
