Family & Local History: Research Skills

A self-help group of individuals interested in finding out about their ancestors. Whilst it is possible to undertake research without a computer, it is much easier these days if one can get on-line in order to take advantage of the ever increasing resources available via the internet, so computer literacy is almost essential. Some members of the group are in the early stages of research but the group leader and at least one other member of the group have been investigating their own family histories for many years so hopefully can help members avoid some of the pitfalls and dead-ends which we inevitably encounter.
