Family History

Intro to Family History Course

We are running an introduction to family history course at Stockton Library, details available.

Families
There are a large number of families with strong connections to Stockton. The best source of information currently available via the Society are the large number of articles in our Journal which mentions both families and individuals.

We are currently developing a Member Interest Directory. If you would like your family history research interests listed here, please download and complete the Member Family History Interest Form.

We have folders with information on the following families:

Bryant Cady Callen Chilvers Cooper Cox Cundy Gillespie Googe

Hall Hill Hyde Limeburner Marborough McDonald Penglaze Polglase

Pryor Quinlan Roper Sheelah Thompson Towns Walters West

Many families are also mentioned in our Journal. Check the Index of our Journal .
