Society
Meetings & Activities
The Society
holds a local meeting on the 3rd Monday of each month (except August and
December) at 7.30pm at Cemetery Road Baptist Church,
Sheffield. Non members are always welcome. Access to the building is
from the Napier Street entrance. Parking is available in the
supermarket car park opposite the entrance to the church.
We
usually enjoy an
illustrated talk by a visiting speaker on an aspect of family or
local history. There is plenty of
opportunity to discuss family history with other members and
share any problems you may have with
your research. Members and visitors also have the chance to peruse the
Society bookstall over a cup of tea or coffee.
