	Family Ancestry Guide History Society
		Family History Societies are generally non-profit or charitable endeavors, with people untied to share a love for such pursuits and a genuine desire to spread the knowledge that they have themselves gained over the years from dedicated research and good old-fashioned legwork.
		The focus and coverage of these Family History Societies vary from organization to organization, with some groups concentrating on family history, bloodlines and familial lineages of one particular geographical area while others may focus on a particular race or ethnic group.
		Many of these societies count prominent and well respected community members among their rosters, who share an interest in preserving their particular town’s historical legacy by keeping comprehensive records of family histories and bloodlines.

	Busselton Family History Society Inc. - Origins
		The name "Busselton ∓ Districts Genealogical Research Centre" was adopted, the "∓ Districts" being included to indicate that in addition to the Shire of Busselton, the resources of the Centre are also readily accessible by residents of the surrounding Shires of Capel, Margaret River/Augusta and Nannup.
		The wheel turned full circle when in a further stage of development the decision was taken to affiliate with the WAGS bringing mutual benefits to members of both organisations.
		In the interests of simplifying the name as much as possible the "and Districts" was also dropped in favour of including a suitable slogan on the Society's official publications to indicate that it also embraces the surrounding areas.

	Dowbiggin Family History Society and Surname Resource Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Dowbiggin family coat of arms is described as "vaire or and azure, a crescent gules."
		For generations, the DOWBIGGIN family have been farmers and yeomen in the area, now in southern Cumbria, Lancashire, and North Yorkshire, where the pre-1974 counties of Westmorland, Lancashire, and Yorkshire meet.
		Kevin Lancaster, who lives at Dowbiggin outside Sedbergh, told me that despite oral history that claims the name means "gathering of buildings (Biggin) near the dovecote (Dow)," the name really means "gathering of buildings near the cave." Apparently Dowker may have been the first part of the place name originally.
