Database Searches
Most of these databases shown below have been published by the Society and are available from the bookshop in book, fiche or CD format. However, single surname searches can be made and in the case of multi-part publications these will usually cover all parts. Searches are free for members but a charge is made for non-members of 2 (2 GBP) per surname per index. For each search you will receive up to 2 A4 pages of results; additional pages will be charged at 25p each. Please apply by post, sending an s.a.e, and make cheques payable to 'Coventry Family History Society'. Members please quote your membership number. The address is Coventry Family History Society, 12 Knoll Drive, Styvechale, Coventry CV3 5BT.
