German research and South African research. We discussed the Pioneer Register and would like to remind members not to forget to hand in their research when its completed. Members reminded about articles for submission to the editor for our Journal. Suggestion made that a page for small items of interest could be headed "Great Finds" and may only be 2-5 lines in length. Some great examples were discussed. FPFHG will be on Facebook soon…….update next week at General Meeting Field trip discussion held over until April meeting.
