MLFHS was established in 1964 and since grown to become one of the largest family history societies. MLFHS was established in 1964. We are open M-F 10:30-3:30.

We are united by a common interest in Genealogy and Family History. Our popular Family History Helpdesk, located at Manchester Central Library, provides members and non-members free assistance and guidance with their family history research.

What's New BillionGraves?
BillionGraves is announcing some big news this week at RootsTech, the world's largest genealogy conference.
Here it is: If you have previously taken gravestone photos with a regular camera or phone camera (without the BillionGraves app), you can now upload them to the BillionGraves website, and you no longer have to transcribe them yourself! That's right, it will be done for you!
So if you have gravestone photos stored on your computer or phone from past vacations or family history trips, upload them at BillionGraves.com so they can be preserved and shared with others.
It's still best to use the BillionGraves app since it will automatically add the GPS coordinates for each gravesite, but uploading the photos you took without the app to the BillionGraves website is the next best thing.

Ever wondered what your ancestor’s street or townland looked like in 1926? 👀
Form B of the 1926 Census doesn’t just tell you who lived where, it reveals what kind of buildings stood there, how many families shared a house, and even how many rooms each family occupied.
It’s a powerful way to picture daily life and the communities your family were part of 💚
Are you looking forward to the release of the 1926 Census of Ireland?
