Romsey HGS Family History Group meet monthly for Talks and Visits to Inspire and Help your Research

Welcome to the Romsey Group page.  This friendly and welcoming  group meets at 7.30pm on the  first Monday of the month or the Tuesday following a Bank Holiday, in Crosfield Hall (Annex), Romsey. Romsey is a small market town and our members come from both the town and the surrounding villages. We are always pleased to welcome visitors and new members.

Why Join HGS Romsey?

Joining your local group provides an opportunity to meet other people who have the same enthusiasm for family history and to share skills and expertise. It’s also an opportunity to help others break down ‘brick walls’ in their research and have some help with your own. The talks, workshops, and social events also provide a great opportunity to extend knowledge and have fun!

If you have any articles that you would like included on our group page, then we would be delighted to hear from you!

The Group meetings are either a talk from a speaker on a family history related subject, or a Members’ Evening, usually arranged around members interests or a request for a particular topic. The meeting is followed by tea/coffee and biscuits, which gives everyone the opportunity to meet and chat with the speaker and each other.
