Hello all Does anyone know of any local history societies dealing with specific Hampshire villages. I'm particularly interested in Selbourne, Kings Somborne, Alton, and the New Forest villages of Beaulieu, Boldre, Fordingbridge). I'm desperate to move on with my ggg.grandparents families and I think this may be the only way to do it. Thank you for any help! Margaret

The best way is to put the village in Google plus Local Historical Society such as "Beaulieu+local history society" without the quotes I normally do this and they come up okay. Make sure you use http://www.google.co.uk and hit the PAGES FROM UK button not Google.com Chris SOUTHERN LIFE(UK) http://Southernlife.org.uk History of the Hampshire, Dorset and IOW Villages,Towns and Churches ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Usmar" <margaretusmar@gmail.com> To: <HAMPSHIRE-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 9:24 AM Subject: [HAMPSHIRE-LIFE] Selbourne Hello all Does anyone know of any local history societies dealing with specific Hampshire villages.
