British Isles Family History Society

of Greater Ottawa

Welcome to BIFHSGO, a Canadian family history society with a focus on the British Isles.

Our members connect with like-minded researchers to learn effective research methods and practices, share their knowledge and inspire other family historians with their presentations and published stories.

Our Name Index provides information from our ongoing research on home children, military ancestors and migration, focusing on British Isles and Canadian ancestry.

Our first virtual conference has ended! Registrants tell us that it was a huge success! Check out what participants said about the conference on the website.

Thanks to all our dedicated volunteers. As we start to think about next year's conference, consider how you might like to be involved. There is room for lots of skills and different time commitments.
