The group meets EACH month on the 3rd WEDNESDAY at the Royal British Legion, 10 Longford Lane, Kingsteignton TQ12 3LH from 14:00 to 16:00.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday May 20th 2026
We meet to develop and share the skills required to research our ancestors and explore the world in which they lived.
We do this through sharing and presentations about our experiences of researching our ancestors, exploring challenges that group members are having during their research and we share our knowledge.
Recent topics we have covered included: using on line records to help solve 'brick walls', sharing family stories, using photo enhancement AI, and sharing all the many resources we have used to do our research. We have also recently looked at reading old writing and wills . Some projects lead us into a deeper understanding of the historical setting and social history of the time. Our next promises include a look at the lives of the Huguenots of Bristol and a murder in Winkleigh!
Due to changes of circumstance for lovely longstanding members, this group now has capacity for a few more, and as the absolute beginners group is full we offer a warm welcome to both those with experience and those who are new to genealogy and support is freely given.
