Next Meeting

At the Association Meeting scheduled for Tuesday 6 June 2023, Jane Wilson talks of "Getting to know my ancestors from Dundee and Brighton". The general outline of the family was well known but research trips in 2018-19 filled some curious gaps.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Morning tea will be served.
