Many sponsors help with the administration of Family History Month (NFHM), and with providing prizes that are available each year. AFFHO is very grateful for this support. Sponsors that have confirmed for this year are listed below. This page is being updated as more sponsors confirm. The Covid-19 pandemic is still causing disruption to both sponsors and the many organisations that run events during National Family History Month.

National Family History Month is only possible because of the generous support of our major sponsors and prize sponsors. Although some regular sponsors were unable to contribute in 2021, their support in past years has been greatly appreciated. They also assist NFHM with promotion and publicity through their own e-newsletters, blogs and social media outlets. Please visit their websites by clicking on the links below, and buy/use their products if you can.
