Description
There has been a Family History Group within Barnsley u3a for 12 years now.
In 2017 demand was such that two groups were formed, one meeting in the morning and one in the afternoon, both at Dodworth Library.
Over the years the approach to research has progressed to a more structured one using Ancestry.co.uk and Find My Past. We also use the many supporting websites that are available to us to both add and confirm the detail we have recorded so a working knowledge of computers is essential, together with personal laptops.
From March 2022 the venue has changed to Dodworth Miners Welfare. The groups have been amalgamated and the name changed to Genealogy. The co-ordinators of the former morning group will run a session from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and the co-ordinators of the afternoon session will run a group from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. This will give members flexibility to attend at either session or both if they should so desire.
Opening Times
Morning session 10am - 12pm
Afternoon session 12pm - 2pm
The group runs on a Wednesday, it meets every 2 weeks and alternates between the morning or afternoon session.
