Family History 2 (New for 2023) - Marilyn
The second Family History group consisting of 5 members has been going for 6 months and consists of newcomers to genealogy and more experienced researchers. We meet once a month on a Tuesday afternoon. Between us we have a number of different websites that we subscribe to. This enables us to compare and assist with data gaps. One of the group has subscribed to the latest 1921 census which has proved invaluable to others.
Within the group we have gained "top tips!" from others and some excellent shortcuts. We have some interesting discussions especially in relation to the social history aspect and more recently the topical issue DNA testing and the widespread implications that it throws up.
We all agree it is a good way to spend an afternoon and our family trees are growing.
