A popular feature of Open Day in recent years has been the family trees that members bring with them for display at the venue. This is a fantastic resource for making contacts with researchers who share your interests and the showcasing of members’ family trees is very popular with other visitors. |

Regular or occasional visitors to the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies during the last year will have missed the familiar face of Bill Torrens. Always cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable, Bill, who died far too young after a brave fight against cancer, has been sadly missed.
Bucks Family History Society wished to acknowledge all the work Bill had done to further the research of family historians. When consulted Bill’s widow, Barbara, suggested that an annual memorial lecture would be a fitting tribute.
The lecture this year will be given on our Open Day on July 25th by Bill’s friend and former colleague Julian Hunt.
