The Group was formed in July, 1996 to promote and encourage the study of genealogy, heritage and history in the local area, to extend membership, to make records and indexes of monumental inscriptions, parish registers and other genealogical and historical source material. To conduct workshops and regular meetings, to share each other's resources and maintain and extend the holdings of a reference and research library. The aims of the Group are to interact with other societies, share knowledge and help each other.
Our members are invited to let the committee know what they would like purchased to extend our resources. Social get-togethers are run from time to time to allow members to meet. Suggestions, which are beneficial to the Group, are always welcome.
