UPDATE ON 24th SEPTEMBER 
— 
On 18th September, the Fromus Centre in Saxmundham filled with laughter and people enjoying themselves.  But why?  A talk by our Chairman Chris Broom.  Not just any talk – this was 'Humour in Genealogy'.  Throughout many historical documents Chris has found many humorous references, some involving names, and he shared some of these with us.  

You can read a fuller talk-report here.

POSTED ON 15th JULY
—
On Monday 18th September, our Chairman Chris Broom will take us on a light-hearted tour through a range of amusing items found in a range of genealogical record sets, including parish registers, national Censuses, Wills, newspapers and even ecclesiastical records.

The talk also demonstrates the value of scrutinising original documents, rather than relying solely on transcriptions.

The talk is at the Fromus Centre, Street Farm Road, Saxmundham IP17 1AL, at 2.30pm.
Members as usual @ £1.00, Visitors welcome @ £3 including tea/coffee and biscuits.
No need to book – just turn up.

Paid-up members can also 'attend' over Zoom by following the email sent earlier that day.
