It is the Northumberland and Durham Family History Society, a non-profit making Registered Charity and a Society assisting all family history researchers. I strongly recommend everyone with any interest at all in any family from Northumberland and/or Co Durham to become a member. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help with any of its transcribing and/or indexing projects should contact the Society's Projects Co-ordinator. Send an e-mail to: projects@ndfhs.org.uk However, I have a feeling you will find that the Society's main priorities at present are the final, and long-awaited, completion of the 1851 census indexes, further work on the 1891 census indexes and work for the FFHS "Shroud" burial index project.
