Help at hand with Wokingham family history research
Tracing your family history is an increasingly popular pastime, but from beginners to the most experienced researchers, everybody gets stuck once in a while – and that’s where the Berkshire Family History Society’s regular monthly drop-in sessions at Wokingham Library could help.
Anybody needing help looking into their Wokingham family history – whether how to get started, how to tackle a specific problem or just seeking general advice – can go to the sessions, where they will receive friendly informal guidance on their research.
Chairman of the Bracknell and Wokingham Branch of the Berkshire Family History Society Derek Trinder said: “These informal sessions are for anybody interested in tracing their family history and aim to improve their prospects of discovering those elusive ancestors. Those involved have research interests and expertise that extend far beyond Berkshire, so we can usually help most people, wherever their ancestors come from.”
The drop-in sessions are held between 2pm and 5pm on the last Tuesday of every month - except December - in the Learning Zone of Wokingham Library. The next session will be on Tuesday, September 25. There is no need to book.
Wokingham Borough Council reader development officer for adults Heather Dyson said: “These drop-ins sessions are an excellent opportunity for people to explore the past and to use the libraries facilities and resources as well as to benefit from the expertise of the Berkshire Family History Society’s members.
