How can we help you? We will help you to find documented facts about the lives of your former family members which will unlock doors to your own personal family story. Although we do specialise in Somerset and Dorset and have extensive records from our two counties, our experienced Research Volunteers have skills which can help you trace your family roots, regardless of where they might have originated.
Our Family History Centre in Yeovil reopened to visitors on Thursday 12 August. Initially we will only be open in the mornings (10.00am-1.00pm) Monday (not 30 August), Thursday, Friday and Saturday (not 28 August). So that we can limit numbers present at any one time in our small rooms, we will, in the short term, have to ask members and other visitors to book in advance, by emailing: [email protected]. Since the UK government is still advising caution, and we want all our volunteers and visitors to feel safe, there are some conditions for visiting the Centre. Please click on the button to find out more.
Online talks are being hosted by some of our local Groups, giving us the opportunity to engage with our members and the family history community worldwide.
Any member of the Society wishing to participate online must register by emailing the Secretary ([email protected]) by 11th September 2021 and quoting their Membership Number.
Following the AGM, there will be an online open day with talks by Debbie Kennett (What to do with your DNA Results) and Nick Barrett (The Future of Family History). There will also be a recorded musical interlude with Rough Assembly (formerly known as Tinker’s Cuss).
SDFHS Open Day Talks: this Zoom meeting will open at 11.30 am on Saturday 18th September
