Each
term we hold a mixture of house meetings and meetings atBrookside Primary School, High Lane, where we have use of their
computers and are able to print off material. We mainly focus on
internet based material which is useful to those of us whose family
roots are not local but we also discuss wider social issues and look
at problems and progress. Our more experienced members are able
to work on their own but beginners and those with less experience
will be given every assistance with using the computers and
understanding the wealth of information available both on the internet and elsewhere. For these members we can provide a structured programme looking at basic web sites, census information, parish records
and many other
topics. We also have a library of research guides and access
to a
fiche reader. We are not experts in this field,
simply
enthusiastic amateurs and we are always open to suggestions as to how
we can improve the help we provide at all stages.Studying family history can be a frustrating hobby and progress can be painfully slow, but the excitement when a breakthrough comes is very rewarding.
