Genealogy


The group meets every Friday from 10am to 12 noon.

The group assist each other by discussing how to trace family histories and how to use the sources available, including websites, public records and family papers and photographs. Examination of Census Returns since 1841 uncovers a wealth of information on our ancestors.

Members of the group range from absolute beginners to experienced researchers.

This increasingly popular pastime, as evidenced by current television and radio programmes, can be rewarding and frustrating in equal measure, but our collective knowledge and experiences are imparted for the benefit of everyone. The fact that you may be very new to this activity should not deter you from joining the existing group.
