U3A - FAMILY HISTORY

Family History within Barnsley U3A started more than 11 years ago as one self-help group at Priory Campus using both paper records and the internet.

All research is now done on an internet basis using Ancestry.co.uk for both developing and saving individual family trees and record searching and Find My Past for research. We also use the many supporting websites that are available to us to both add and confirm the information found so a working knowledge of computers is essential. We have access to a small number of laptops belonging to Priory Campus for our group meetings but ownership of a personal laptop/tablet/iPad is preferred.
