Family History
The group is for those who are curious about their ancestry, both beginners and the more experienced. In doesn’t matter if your ancestor’s surname is common or rare, it can be researched.
At each meeting, the group picks a subject for the following month which is discussed, or it could be an open meeting where everyone talks about their research successes, failures and ‘brick walls’.
Whether your ancestors were rogues or royalty, rich or poor, we want to hear about them and help you discover more about them.
