Quarterly & Back Journals

Since 1978 the Society has published a quarterly Journal 'North West Kent Family History' (ISSN 2631-5947), which is available to all members in the MOA and is posted to any member choosing to have  a paper copy. It generally contains some 40 to 50 pages of articles on family history in north west Kent and elsewhere, news items, and surnames , place and subject interests being researched by members. It won the FFHS Elizabeth Simpson award for the best family history society journal on a number of occasions.

The first two volumes (1978-82) were published at a size of 10" x 8", but this was altered to A5 format in 1983. At the same time the number of issues per volume was increased from eight (covering two years) to twelve (three years).

Journal Editor Pauline Heathcote is always looking for new material for publication from members - articles, letters, snippets & photos (as PDFs).

Write an article about your research including your questions. Providing GDPR forms have been completed, the membership officer will pass on any messages from readers offering help and advice. Each issue of The Journal is available on line for the foreseeable future which has, in the past, led to members contacting authors several years later.

Guidelines for Authors

The Challenge!

To reflect the aims of the Society to encourage and aid the study of family history research. We are the Society serving a unique area and can record and publish all aspects of family life and social change. Take a look at the map on the back cover of the Journal. 

  1. An interesting read. Length anything from 100-1500 words. Please talk to the editor if your article is longer than about 1500 words.
  2. Method - how you undertook the research.
  3. Note sources used, exact references & where sources located.
  4. Demonstrate how information confirmed.
  5. Show how problems overcome.
  6. Draw simple family tree(s) to demonstrate the relationships of key people mentioned in your article, noting the format of the Journal (A5 portrait pages).
  7. Offer sketches or images (with copyright approval for use in the Journal). Contact the editor to describe what you have and how it can be used. Please do not send original material.
  8. If you are quoting from a book or other printed resources mark that text clearly using indent and italics AND write the name of the publication, the author, the year and name of publisher underneath.
  • Articles about a person or family in a particular occupation, say what that work involved and give some detail of the place where they lived and some detail of the period for context.
  • Recollections of a way of life or a place in the context of an historical period.
  • Trials and tribulations of family history research.
  • The every-day life (or extra-ordinary events) story of a character (preferably but not exclusively who lived in the area covered by NWKFHS) that reflects a past lifestyle.
  • The story of your family history (so far).
  • Family history research opportunities in your local area/village; details of ANY memorial, resources, church or school records. These can be as short as 100 words ... but may alert readers to new opportunities.
  • Photographs of village features that may interest other readers.. (please talk to the editor before contributing).
  • Raising questions / seeking advice / seeking links (eg the help wanted feature).
  • Anything related to family history that I have omitted and you think would interest other members and readers who purchase single copies.
  • CAPITALS or Not? Family names (surnames) in CAPITALS, first and middle names in Upper and lower case eg Paul John JONES.
