Dear Members, we need your views.
As the Executive looks at a way forward for the online meetings, there are a couple of questions where we need your help.
Bletchley - Roger Young - History of Postcards : 6th November 2024
Most of us will no doubt have postcards relating to our Family History. Some faces will be known or unknown but its usually the messages on the back, that is just as interesting. This presentation looks at postcards - their history, their effect upon British culture and their key part in genealogical research. They were the telephone, text and social media of the day and their golden years (1890 - 1920) and offer much for those involved in family history research. I am sure we are in for another interesting evening.
All are welcome to attend the meeting at The Methodist Church Hall, Queensway, Bletchley at 7.30. Wednesday 2nd October 2024

Online talk: What's That Job: Dr Sophie Kay : 8.00 pm - 22 November 2024
Butcher, baker, candlestick maker: some occupational terms are an instantly recognisable part of our social fabric. When we find these familiar jobs in our Family Tree we usually have a good sense of the kind of work they involved and the industry we need to explore if we’re to discover more. But what if you encountered a labbet amongst your ancestors? A lumpman, or a water gilder? Do your ancestors have unusul occupations? Now is your chance to discover more. Dr Sophie Kay will provide all the answers. Zoom opens at 7.45 pm (GMT) for 8.pm start.
. NEW START TIME. If you wish to see this talk and are not yet a member you can join here.
