please can someone advise me. If I was to join a local family history site would that membership be transferable to to other fhs or do I have to pay to join each site ?
I have been to ffhs website and it doesn't say if membership is transferable.many thanks

Each FH society is separate ...............and the appropriate fee has to be paid

ok thanks, looks like it may be expensive then :-(

Depending on time-scale and location, much research can be carried out without the assistance of FHS's.

Not sure how far you've got.............or what you're looking for.....................

I was just thinking on trying to research names from certain parts of the uk that may yield interesting facts ect
thanks for your replies

I belong to a branch of the Kent Family History Soc. I can attend other branch meetings as a guest for £1

It doesn't cover any other Society though but many will accept a guest if its only a short visit.

We do get enquiries though for family info from people from outside the area who can't visit and these will be read out at a meeting asking for any volunteer to take up the look up .

I think the society does make a small charge to the enquirer which goes into the societies coffers !

And if any names you are researching are not too common you could try the GOONERS. The Guild of One Name Studies.

Lots of people researching single surnames.

Had a great sucess via these people some years ago.

There are even people researching names like SMITH and JONES!!!!!

thanks I will try gooners :-)
