GROUPS: The Society
has three Groups, one in each of the counties of Breconshire,
Montgomeryshire and Radnorshire, all working together under the
umbrella of the Powys FHS. Each Group concentrates mainly on
the records of its former County, but membership is common to
all three. Members exchange information and help each other with
their research
LIBRARIES: Each
Group has a Librarian who is able to assist with research projects
and to answer postal enquiries. Many items of interest are to
be found in the Society Libraries, including an extensive collection
of records, documents and reference material (some on microfiche
and microfilm).
Additional material is added to the collection
on a regular basis. Acquisitions include Census transcripts,
IGI (International Genealogical Index), extracts of Welsh Wills,
Monumental Inscriptions, local and family histories, as well
as books of general genealogical interest.
