The East Surrey Family History Society was founded in 1977 and, not surprisingly, its catchment area is the eastern part of the ancient county of Surrey, which includes those London Boroughs south of the Thames that are now in Greater London London Boroughs - Croydon, Kingston, Lambeth, Merton, Richmond, Southwark, Sutton and Wandsworth. All are welcome to join. The Society welcomes as members not only those living in its area who wish to belong to a local society (regardless of whether or not they have Surrey ancestry) but anyone with a research interest in this part of the county, irrespective of their address, be it in the UK or overseas. The Society has members throughout the UK and in many other countries; it has its own representatives in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA.
