Genealogy
The Genealogy Club is a forum for discussion about researching our ancestors and how they lived. Members range from beginners to experienced researchers and we all learn from each other through speaking about our experiences and successes in finding out our family history. The programme includes group discussions, speakers and visits.
The Club meets on the second Friday of the month from October to May. Meetings in Room 753 will take place from 12.15pm to 2.15pm. Meetings via Zoom will start at 2.00pm.
The membership fee is £10.00.
