Members will receive a copy of the society’s magazine, ‘The Sandgrounder’. This is published every 3 months, and contains information about the society and members, a ‘Help Wanted’ page, and articles provided by members as well as family history events that are being held, both locally and nationally.

This will be sent via e-mail wherever we hold an e-mail address otherwise it will be sent by post. E-mail saves the society money and ensures members receive the magazine as quickly as possible.

A Members’ Interests booklet is sent out with the magazine once a year. This contains details of members and the names they are researching, enabling people with similar interests to get in touch with one another.

Some members of the committee have volunteered to undertake free, limited research for our members. This includes searches of local records such as street directories, electoral registers and old local newspapers.
