Welcome to the HGS Fareham Group!
We meet monthly for talks and visits to inspire and help you with your research
This friendly and welcoming group generally meets on the FOURTH Thursday of each month at Wallington Village Hall, Broadcut, Fareham. Doors open at 7:15 pm and the meeting begins at 7:30 pm. There is plenty of free parking in the large car park.
Fareham is a market town in the south east of Hampshire, between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth. Members join us from Fareham and the surrounding area and we are always pleased to welcome visitors and new members.
Why Join Fareham Group?
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 to 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!
The 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. There is plenty of opportunity to socialise, meet, and chat with the other members.

In the 80th Anniversary year, this tale examines the plans and realities during the last year of Britain's War with Japan. The majority of this talk concerns the main force that was realised - the British Pacific Fleet took part in the 1945 campaigns off Okinawa and the Japanese home islands - but it also included many other elements that were not fully realised, including the influence of elections and economics, in determining what did and didn't happen.
The group organiser is Jane Painter. She can be contacted using the form on this page.
