Memories and enhancing family history

Next Monday’s Bath Group meeting features Steve Ralph. With more than 25 years of research into his own family history, Steve started to look into what other information he could find to enable him to build a richer picture of what his family’s lives were like.  This talk will cover the methods and findings he used to enhance his own family history knowledge and document these memories. This talk is online and begins at 7.30pm and is available to members only (joining details sent by email).

Secondhand books galore!

We have added new stocks of secondhand books to our WebShop. Why not have a look and see what we’ve got? Many relate to Bristol and the surrounding areas, but there are also books of wider interest. Go to our website, email shop@bafhs.org.uk or post to Sales – the address is in the journal.

About BAFHS

Formed in 1975, the Bristol & Avon Family History Society supports contact between members with regular meetings and a quarterly Journal. We assist members with problems encountered during research work.  The society promotes and encourages the public study of family history, genealogy and associated interests. Like most other family history societies, BAFHS is run by enthusiastic volunteers.
