What do you know about your family’s past lives? Were they landed gentry, or (more likely), agricultural labourers or domestic servants? Did they live in the town, or in the countryside, in a workhouse or serve in the armed forces? Do you have any old photos of family members which you can’t identify? Do you have old documents, letters or certificates?

Join us in our Family History group and try and piece it all together. It doesn’t matter if you have no experience, as we can get you going, and give you help along the way. These days, with the help of all the information online, it is easy to get started.

Since the start of the group we have learned about all sorts of fascinating stories including those of early emigrants to America, finding natural family following adoption, making a new life in Australia, Mormon ancestors and shipwreck deaths.

We’ve taken trips to the ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ exhibition in London and the NEC and to the new Wiltshire Family History Centre in Chippenham. We occasionally have guest speakers. We meet at the Hub in Church Street.
