If you are relatively new to our hobby, you will probably have been
using
the internet to research your Family History.
The following will not be news to seasoned genealogists, but there is a
lot of information that is not available on-line. There are many records
that exist only on paper, and others that although held on computer, are
not accessible through the internet.
If you’d like to learn more about these resources, what they can tell us,
and how they can be consulted; then you might like to join us at our Family
and Local History Fair next week.
