Family History
The Family History Group usually meets from 2.00pm to 3.30pm on the 3rd Monday of each month in Room 11 at Widnes Library, Victoria Square, WA8 7QT. There are car parking places and bus stops nearby. Those attending pay £2 per session to cover the cost of hiring the room.
All members and prospective members are welcome, it doesn't matter of you haven't started researching your family tree or even if you have no intention of doing so. At present in our Monday afternoon sessions we are tracing interesting stories which our members have discovered during their researches. At recent sessions we've looked at emigration records, workhouse records and military records.
For those who do want to research their family history but aren't sure how to start, we offer one-to-one sessions at dates to suit you in your local library to show you the basics and get you started. You may be surprised at what you find out about your family.
