This organization has been in existence since 1956 and is a non-profit organization that promotes the knowledge of and interest in Ulster and Irish genealogy and history, and to make information about the sources in this field more readily available.
Besides the Ancestral Research Service, they publish a number of historical, educational and gravestone inscriptions books. The Ulster Genealogical & Historical Guild was formed to spread research information and bring together people of similar interests. The Guild is managed very much like a book club. Subscribers receive an annual publication containing articles about Irish history and genealogy called Familia: Ulster Genealogical Review. The Guild also publishes an annual interest List of individuals being researched. Subscribers are allowed six free entries. Guild subscribers can also receive a quarterly journal, The Linen Hall Review.
Holdings: The Foundation now has recordings of pre-1900 gravestone inscriptions for most of Northern Ireland and has all pre-1900 inscriptions in the city of Belfast and counties Armagh and Down and most of those in the other counties. Twenty seven volumes of inscriptions have been published, volumes 1-20 for Co. Down (new additions for volumes 2 & 5), 3 volumes for Belfast and 2 volumes for Co. Antrim (IGSI has all of these).
Indexing Counties Antrim & Down.

The society's objective is to foster interest in family history with special reference to families who have roots in the North of Ireland and their descendants, wherever they may be. It is a a voluntary, non profitmaking organization, depending on the financial support of amateurs doing Family History and volunteer effort in running the society. The society is not a Research Agency, although we do like to put people in contact with one another.
Two types of Membership:
- BRANCH MEMBERSHIP - Local members usually join and attend meetings at their nearest Branch by paying the annual fee set by each Branch - but this also allows them to attend meetings held by any of the Branches. Annual Membership includes two issues of the Journal, "North Irish Roots". (IGSI is a member)
- ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP - This is for members who are unable to attend Branch meetings but wish to be involved in the Society. An annual subscription to the Society entitles them to two issues of the journal "North Irish Roots" and also to submit a Profile Form. The Profile Form provides space to include Member's Interests, Queries and offers of Reciprocal Research.
