Beginners’ Family History Courses

You don’t have to be a member of the Society to participate and the courses, run by experienced volunteers, take place at our research room in Meltham.  Our courses are held on either Thursday mornings or Thursday evenings.  All courses run for six weeks, either from 9.45 am to 11.45 pm or 18.45 pm to 20.45 pm. The cost of the six-week course is £40 and this includes an Ancestral Notebook in which to record your findings.

Our final course for 2024 is now full but we will be running more in early 2025.  Dates are still to be confirmed but we are happy to take names now.  Please use the Contact Form, via the button below, and select ‘Secretary’ to ask for more details.
