Welcome to the Family History Group
We explore family histories and social history, covering a wide range of genealogy topics.
Our meetings alternate between contributions from members and Zoom presentations from outside experts.
Our members have ancestors in many parts of the UK, with some who have family in more distant parts of the world. Many of us are also interested in DNA testing for genealogy. Some of our members are new to Genealogy, others have been researching for years- all are welcome!
Our Meeting Schedule
The Family History group meets on the second Thursday of each month, from 13:30-15:30, at Ripon Library.
- Face to Face meetings will be the 2nd Thursday in April, June, October and February 1330-1530 hrs.
- In September, November, January 2026, March and May, we will have a Zoom presentation by a subject matter expert.
Zoom Meetings
Combining with Harrogate has enabled us to invite nationally known speakers and share a Zoom subscription to keep our costs down. Our own members make presentations based on their own research and there is also time for more informal discussions on Family History topics.
One-to-one help is available if you need it to get up and running on Zoom.
Further Info
We ask for an annual contribution towards the cost of speakers and our Zoom contract (the amount is currently under review).
If you are interested in joining us please contact us and we will send you a calendar for our Zoom meetings and in person meetings at Community House.
