The Quaker Family History Society London Meeting and AGM
is on the 9th July 2016 at the Endsleigh Suite Friends House, London.
We meet at the Quaker Centre Cafe at 10:30 for an 11am start.

All are welcome and there is no charge for the day.
There is an interesting programme,  see www.qfhs.co.uk under Events.

Briefly, Sara Woodall will  speak about the Quaker Eddison and Dougills mentioned in her book Voices from a Trunk based on family letters found in an old trunk.
Then there is an introduction to the Transcription Project and a discussion on Social Media for Family History.
Our past Chair Chris Pitt Lewis, an acknowledged expert on the subject,  will talk after the AGM on Unsurrendered Registers

As the AGM deals with changes to the Constitution please please, members of QFHS, make every effort to attend. If for any reason you can't come, please send your apology.
