As a Registered Charity, 1000879, The Metcalfe Society currently holds over nearly 111,000 individual 'records' of Metcalfe individuals and families;  on a constantly expanding Computer Index.  The 800 year history of the name is fully researched and published, and society membership offers a free genealogical research service, for members to access and search records online.  We have published an award-winning journal in the past, and more recently an e-newsletter which is sent out bi-monthly.
