Family History
Our members have ancestors in many parts of the UK, with some who have family in more distant parts of the world. Many of us are also interested in DNA testing for genealogy. Some of our members are new to Genealogy, others have been researching for years- all are welcome!
The Family History group meets once a month. One month we meet in person in Ripon, currently at the Workhouse Museum, and on alternate months we Zoom, together with members of Harrogate u3a. Combining with Harrogate has enabled us to invite nationally known speakers and share a Zoom subscription. Our own members make presentations based on their own research and there is also time for more informal discussions on Family History topics. There is a small charge of about £2 per person for room hire at meetings and once or twice a year we ask for a contribution of £5 or £10 from members towards our external speakers and our Zoom subscription. One-to-one help is available if you need it to get up and running on Zoom.If you are interested in joining us please contact us and we will send you a calendar for our Zoom meetings and in person meetings at the Workhouse.
