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

- October 1, 2018, 7:30 pm: Messages from the Front – Margaret Braddock
Margaret has a collection of over 3,500 postcards from the First World War. She has made a selection which illustrates heroism, humour and everyday activities experienced both in the trenches and on the Home Front. During her presentation she will share her research concerning some of the recipients and senders.
- November 5, 2018, 7:30 pm: Family Legends - Kay Lovell
How many of us have grown up hearing a family story or two? How many of us have been able to confirm the truth? How many of us have had to admit there was no truth at all? In her talk, Kay refers to such stories in her own family history, and explains how most of them did indeed turn out to be true! She explains how she has been able to add detail to some of them and also includes further stories that she has unearthed during her research.
- December 3, 2018, 7:30 pm: Christmas Get Together
The Group organiser is Dorothy Thompson. She can be contacted using the form on this page.

Combine the details with information from HGS parish indexes and a personal story emerges.
