The FFHS Forum was established in 2008 as a benefit of Membership but also with a wider focus on Family Historians and those with similar interests, to bring you into the arena of Family History Societies. In this respect the FFHS Forum is open for all to use. You can place a notice of an event, initiate or contribute to an online discussion on an issue, developing trends, access to archives or even place a request for advice. It is not intended to replace the existing excellent lists that can be found online but to add another dimension for you. This is a global facility for those who are administering, have interests in or have links with Family History research in the UK.

Alan Bennett - Chairman FHSC
Yesterday our Runcorn Group hosted a very successful Members Day and AGM for 2009. I must thank Linda and all of her team for the excellent organisation. I turned up early to help but everything was already in place. Well done to everyone.
A special thanks to all the hard work in the running of the kitchen and all the preparation. The home baked cakes were truly excellent.

The Wallasey Group was inaugurated 20 years ago next March. The Committee wants to mark the event and wishes to publish a book to celebrate the occasion and record the achievements of the group’s members over the years.
We, as a Group, are planning a photographic record of the many changes that have taken place in the areas that we cover. This will include, Seacombe, Poulton, Egremont, Upper Brighton, New Brighton, Liscard, Wallasey Village, Leasowe, Moreton and Saughall Massie.
We will be using old photographs and contrasting them with ones of today that we plan to take. The idea is to show what has been lost over the decades; what, if anything, has replaced it; and to make a record for future reference of what we have in 2009/10.
Plans are still at a very early stage and we would like to have an idea of how many of our fellow society members would be interested in purchasing such a book. We are aiming for a retail price in the region of £10.00.
We will be opening a pre-publication subscription list in due course and would be pleased to hear from anyone who would be interested.
Please contact me, as soon as possible, with your name and contact details, so that we can estimate the rate of response.
I will keep you informed of our progress and advise you when the list will be opening.
