Family Tree


We intend to continue in the Spring with the Autumn format; two house meetings, four or five meetings in the computer room at Brookside Primary School, High Lane and possibly a trip out to a research facility.  We will still mainly be focusing on internet based research which is useful to those whose families are not local.
Our meetings follow a structured programme to lead you through the wealth of information available in various forms.  Topics vary from ‘Getting started’ to ‘Storing information and producing family trees’.  We look at census information,
parish records, military records and many more.  Studying family history can be a frustrating hobby at times but the excitement when a breakthrough comes is very rewarding.
We will welcome both returning and new members and are always open to suggestions to improve the help we provide at all stages.
The cost of room hire has increased significantly but, given sufficient numbers we are hoping to keep our charges at £14 for the term.  For this you will get the use of a computer, the ability to print information (small charge), internet access, the use of a fiche reader and help from us.
