INTRODUCTION

Several Family History Societies exist within Yorkshire, each 
specialising in a small part of the County. This Site is 
created for the benefit of family historians with connections 
throughout the entire County of Yorkshire and for those parts 
of the County not catered for by other Societies.

YAS Family History Section is a member of the Federation of 
Family History Societies.

Yorkshire, maritime County of England is the largest by size 
and is geographically situated to the north-east of the 
country. It is bounded by the counties of Durham to the north, 
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire to the south, 
Cheshire and Lancashire to the west and Westmorland to the 
north-west. It is also bounded by the North Sea to the east. 

From an early time Yorkshire was divided into three 
administrative regions known as the East, North and West 
Ridings of Yorkshire. Each Riding has its own Lord-lieutenant 
and a separate court of quarter sessions and in most other 
aspects is treated as an individual county.
