Forthcoming Meetings

June 8 `With whom did your ancestors meet?'They didn't live in a vacuum. In their daily lives our ancestors met with their neighbours, local shopkeepers and merchants, the Vicar and those with whom they worked. They were probably affected by local, national and even international politics yet most family histories ignore these factors. Colin Chapman wishes to offer suggestions on how to redress the balance.

Sept 14 'Researching your ancestors medals' - Ken Divall, a former soldier in the Royal Engineers, has worked as a cartographer in the Army and also at the Imperial War and National Army Museums. His talk will focus on the different types of medals for the Army, Navy and Airforce, where to find information and how to link family medals with campaigns and their relevant stories.
