The next meeting of the Berks FHS Computer Branch will be on Wednesday 20th April 2011. Chris Watts is coming to the Berks FHS Computer Branch with his talk 'Follow that lead: From Census Entry to Google Maps' Having located a family in one of the census returns how can one find out where the property in which they lived is located and what did it look like? This is an intriguing question, the solution to which is often hampered by the destruction of property during two world wars and the actions of property developers. In this talk, Chris will explore some possible avenues to follow. The examples used will concentrate on the 1911 census but earlier possibilities will not be ignored As usual, we will be bringing a selection of items from the Berks FHS bookstall together with many sale bargains. In addition there will be a number of experts on hand to help answer any family history problems or computer related queries you may have. Our meeting will be at the usual venue of the Oakwood Centre, Woodley, Reading RG5 4JZ; 7.15 for a 7.45 start. Everyone is welcome at our meetings, you do not have to be a member of the Society, so why not bring your friends along.
