The Bolton branch of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS) (http://www.mlfhs.org.uk/Bolton/) will hold its first meeting of 2013 where we welcome Dr Alan Crosby to talk about "Lancashire Probate Records". He will discuss how these records are of special interest to family historians as personal documents, giving insight into family connections and a lifestyle of a bygone age; and explain the Probate system and how to make full use of the records. The meeting will be held Wednesday February 6th at 7.30pm at Bolton Cricket Club, Green Lane, Farnworth BL3 2JB. All are invited to attend. A Help Desk will be available afterwards for private research advice. All enquiries to Barbara Owen, Secretary, at 01204 309515.
