Would you like to find out who your ancestors were, how and where they lived, what they did and explore your family’s amazing journey? Then do come and join this inquisitive, friendly group and delve into how it’s done – by documents, anecdotes, photos, objects, maps, visits etc, on-line and DNA. Hear of surprises, successes, frustrations, unusual jobs/careers, generations of fathers with the same name, changes of fortune, unconventional family arrangements, famous or infamous people that belong in members’ family trees and much, much, much more.

Meetings are monthly, on the First Friday (except August) in North Ferriby Village Hall. You will be very welcome – experience useful but not necessary. Please contact the Convenor as the group occasionally meets elsewhere.

You will hear detective stories with surprises and frustrations and get hints for finding information and much, much, more.
