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.
