Family History Advice

Berkshire Family History Society
 

People in the borough who wish to trace their ancestors can visit Wokingham and Woodley Libraries for expert help.

Volunteers from the Berkshire Family History Society currently run monthly Family History Advice Sessions at the two libraries.

The sessions are run on a drop-in basis so there’s no need to book. They are appropriate for all levels of experience and for people who have ancestors in Berkshire or elsewhere.
