Do you have stories of ancestors being in the circus? Were they trapeze artists flying high above a crowd doing death-defying stunts? Did they blow fire out their mouths or train elephants? If so, the Circus Historical Society may be the place to go for genealogists looking to learn more about their circus performer ancestors.
The Circus Historical Society was established in 1939 for the purpose of sharing and preserving the history of the Circus. Genealogically relevant databases on the CHS website include circus performer biographies, census abstracts of people in different companies and city directories or performers.
The CHS website can be accessed at https://classic.circushistory.org/about.htm .
