Do you live in the London area, or somewhere within reach of the capital? Do you know that there is somewhere you can go, in London, to talk to people who are passionate about Yorkshire family history? The London Group of Yorkshire Family History Societies represents all the societies within Yorkshire. Whether or not you are a member of any one of those societies, you are welcome to attend meetings. Full details of venue and forthcoming meetings on the website www.yorkshire-in-london.co.uk In February, at the “Who Do You Think You Are? Live” Family history show at Olympia, London, the London Group have a stand with information from all the societies and archives in Yorkshire, plus several volunteers to talk to, who may be able to help with local information or even help you knock down some brick walls. Look out for the Yorkshire corner at Olympia, 22nd to 24th February 2013. Details on www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.com Christine Willott, a member of the London Group and also several Yorkshire mailing lists, is organising the stand at Olympia for the London Group. Chris has asked me to appeal to all our Yorkshire friends. If you have a business in Yorkshire, or know someone who has, Chris is looking for sponsors to help finance the Yorkshire stand. The stand is run by volunteers for the whole three days and is a very expensive event to attend. Hire of space, costs of transport and parking, accommodation for volunteers and the collection of goods and information from all the Yorkshire socieities and archives, - all take time and money, and the group has very limited funds available. There will be a table for sponsors’ advertising and a competition with prizes donated by some of the sponsors.
