Family History
The objective of the group is to research our ancestry, know our roots, our origins and to help each other to that end.
We meet at the Spalding Library 10am to 12 noon on the second and fourth Thursdays in each month. We have full use of the library computers and free use of Ancestry Library Edition software. There is also a wealth of information on Lincolnshire held within the Library.
Every year is a very good year for the Family History Group with members finding out facts about their ancestors, particularly as new records are continually loaded on to the family history sites.
We are able to use the free library editions of Ancestry and Find My Past and the Newspaper Archives. All these sites are loading thousands of new records every week, so what we cannot find today we may find tomorrow. Many a 'brick wall' is starting to crumble as one fact leads to another in unravelling our past.
As more and more sites are coming online with new and improved ways of searching their databases, we hope to uncover more facts that help us understand the environment our ancestors created, how they worked and lived their lives. After all they helped shape our future.
Family History is a popular hobby and our meetings are always well attended. We all help each other to find the facts we seek.
