Jan 2009 Meeting – Using the Internet for Research

The meeting in January was held away from our usual base at Brindle Community Hall. Sixteen members attended an evening at Clayton Green Library when the Secretary gave a presentation on ‘Using The Internet For Research’.

The talk covered using various free and commercial websites for family research, military research and other history topics – these ranged from Census returns from 1841 to 1901 on www.ancestry.co.uk to the recently released 1911 Census on www.findmypast.com.

Afterwards, everyone had the opportunity for some ‘hands-on’ experience using the Internet facilities at the Library.

Thanks go to Steve Bailey, the Librarian, for hosting the evening.
