Fleet & Farnborough Family History Group

About

Why join the Fleet & Farnborough Group? An added bonus of the Fleet & Farnborough Group is the reference library, which members are free to use. Come as a visitor, or better still, join the HGS and become part of the larger Hampshire Family History community. The Group meetings are either a talk from a speaker on a family history related subject, or a Members' Evening, usually arranged around members' interests or a particular topic request. The meeting is followed by tea/coffee and biscuits, which gives everyone the opportunity to meet and chat with the speaker and each other. This friendly and welcoming group meets at 19.30, on the second Thursday of the month (except August) at the United Reformed Church. Meetings may need to be held on Zoom - please check in advance.
