President,Rosemary Bayles, welcomed members and visitors to the open meeting and introduced JohnTurrell, the speaker.
Mr Turrell started his talk by giving guidelines for discovering your family history. He told members to start with living relatives and very importantly to write everything down. The next step is to start looking in Parish Registers, marriage and death certificates, and the Census which started in 1841. These days it is much easier to find information on the internet. Then he took members through his own searches for relatives and their interesting histories. He was thanked by Francis Jane.
