Membership

The Worthington Family History Society has many members from all walks of life and from all over the world. If you are undertaking research into a Worthington Family, we encourage you to join our Society where you may be able to establish other historical and family links.

Members enjoy a number of benefits:

Register of Worthington References
Access to all eleven volumes of the Register of Worthington References , which have been researched and compiled from primary sources over the past 17 years, covering the late 16th, 17th, and early 18th Centuries. The Register was one of the main sources used in the preparation of our book Worthington Families of the Seventeenth Century, Volume 1 of which was published in July 2020. Volume 2 is currently in preparation and pedigrees for this volume will be published initially on the website. Online copies of all volumes of the Register and Volume 2 pedigrees, as they become available, are accessible to fully paid up members of the Society and can be viewed in the members’ area.
