Since 1963, Midland Ancestors has been the principal group for genealogy and heraldry across the three counties of Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

Membership provides a quarterly journal either by post or email and whilst members are invited to use the family history research centre in Birmingham city centre, assistance from a distance can be given. At the research centre there is free access to the Family Search affiliate library and the Find My Past website.

Monthly meetings consist of guest speakers or research evenings are held across the five groups, located at Stoke on Trent, Wolverhampton, Stourbridge, Birmingham, Kenilworth and London- open to members of the public. We are about to deliver on-line talks.

The Society over the years has collected a wide variety of indexes- baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials, newspapers, trade directories, maps, wills, etc. The ever-growing library catalogue can be viewed from the website. We have an extensive online shop where downloads and second handbooks can be purchased.

Our social media presence is active, as is our Heraldry group and ongoing projects. We are currently collaborating with Aston University History Department and other historical societies within our area- participating each year with the very successful Birmingham Heritage week.
