Family Research

Family Research is a guided self-help group for members who are already working on their family tree.

Stories are also shared each month on topics designed to encourage deeper reflection on our research. Topics to begin 2022 include ‘A Sense of Place’, ‘Hunch’ and ‘They were there when…’.
