Welcome!
W.I.S.E. Family History Society
Wales - Ireland - Scotland - England
If you or any of your ancestors came from the
British Isles, you'll find many others with the same background among
our membership. We love genealogy as well as the culture of those four
small countries that have made a mighty contribution to America.
Our Society
W.I.S.E. was established in 1983 to motivate
and
assist family history researchers with ancestors from Britain and
Ireland and to illuminate their culture and history.
Our membership includes many knowledgeable
people
who are enthusiastic about U.K research and history. They are willing
to offer guidance to others in their pursuit of locating ancestors,
though we do not offer a research service per se. We maintain a Members
Interest database where members can connect with others working on the
same surnames. You might meet a cousin.
The Denver Public Library Genealogy
Department has
supported W.I.S.E. since our founding. DPL provides our meeting space,
specialized research materials and some professional research guidance.
Our Activities
We present regular program meetings and
usually
sponsor an annual seminar. Our society makes regular contributions of
periodical subscriptions and books dealing with Britain and Ireland to
the Denver Public Library. We organize an annual week-long research
trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
