Antrim and Newtownabbey
Welcome to the Antrim & Newtownabbey Branch of the North of Ireland Family History Society.
A&N Branch welcomes members from around the world as well as those who live locally.
Our monthly meetings are hybrid and if you can get there we love to see you in person. For those who live too far away, you can join the meetings via Zoom so you won’t miss out!
If you have any questions about joining our Branch or would like to join one of our monthly meetings, please email the Branch using the button on the right.
Monthly Meetings
Antrim and Newtownabbey Branch meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 7pm from September to June.
These meetings are an opportunity for Members to hear about what is going in the Branch and in the wider Society.
Many of the meetings feature an interesting presentation given by a guest speaker.
Members of the Branch will be notified by email. Non-members are welcome too – email us to register.
