Welcome to the Blanchard Family History Society
Who are we? Originally formed as the Blanc/shard Family History Society in April 1996, the Society exists to gather and promote the sharing of information regarding the Blanchard and Blanshard families (and all other variants). We are a non-profit making society, and are full members of the Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS). The name is also registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS).
Since that inaugural meeting we have grown from a small informal network exchanging limited information to a thriving, well-established Society with a large membership and many resources. We have a Journal, 'AdversariA', issued to members quarterly. We have generated a number of databases and indexes covering various sources, and other on-going projects to extract further information for the use of all our members.

The biggest benefit of belonging to the Blanchard FHS is that members are immediately part of a network of like minded individuals. The society encourages members to submit their 'trees' and contributors periodically receive the latest collation. Where individual members, based on their research, feel able to offer specific regional assistance then the names and addresses of these members are publicised so that members may further their research through 'networking' with these contacts.
