COACH TRIPS


Regrettably, the Committee has decided to cease offering Coach Trips. We have not been able to attract sufficient numbers to make the trips worth while. This is a pity, as many original records can only be found at The National Archives or the other London Repositories. Not all Family History research can be done by sitting in front of a computer !!!
