Our members are keen family historians, each of whom is working on building their own family tree and collecting the stories that surround it. Some have lots of experience, others are just starting out. We meet once a month to help each other research ancestors, overcome brick walls, and explore new resources, tools and approaches. We plan to have talks, mainly from our own members, on a variety of aspects of family history using stories and real examples from our own ancestors wherever possible. Occasionally we will have talks from outside speakers.
