Activities

We’re back!!!

Meetings recommenced with our AGM in September and we will continue to meet in Wisbech Library. Research sessions in Wisbech Library and Baytree Garden Centre, Hilgay have also resumed.

All precautions are taken to ensure a safe meeting.

Disabled toilet will be available for use.
Any requests for specific book stall stock /reference material would be appreciated in advance as we wish to minimise use of the lift or movement to the store room.

Usual COVID advice: please do not attend if you have a cough, a fever or difficulty breathing. Masks are recommended, but not essential.

Members can still keep in touch via email and the Facebook page. If you are looking for advice an guidance with your family tree, new members are always welcome.

Assistance to Members

The Society keeps a Members Interest List which is made available to members, free of charge.

The Society produces a Journal, Ag. Lab. Chronicles. Members may send in details of any brick wall they need to breach in the hope that others may hold the clue. We also welcome stories of succesful researches!

Members also have an opportunity at the beginning of each meeting to discuss research queries and ask advice from others.

Strays

We have started an index of Fenland Strays and our Strays Coordinator welcomes information on any Fenland Strays you find.

Library Facilities

The Society has a small reference library for use by its members. Books can be used at meetings. Where books are owned by the Society, or have been loaned on terms that allow it, they may be borrowed by members. 

Books from the reference library are available for a small fee (50p) for the maximum loan time of 2 months and second hand Family History books/magazines now available for sale for a small donation.
