Hello. Went on my first visit to a SFHG Open Day. Very interesting with tables representing many Family History Societies. Also other organisations to interest "other halves" such as postcards, maps, stationery for storing paper records, local history books, booklets about a number of trades and occupations in the 1800's and 1900's; a duo with newly formed service for restoring old pictures of every description and mounting them in superb albums for future generations. The stewardship was impeccable. Refreshments for the weary. As a lister advised, I did contact them for help in my search for Caroline WEST's birth. Despite my only contacting them a few days beforehand, I was greeted by Marion with a welter of information on the WEST dynasty in West Tarring and Clapham. Thank you all. Joan.
