An intriguing evening!

This month's WI meeting didn't go according to plan as we had to call in a replacement speaker at very short notice. We also had a rather long business section as there were so many dates to note down and decisions to make. We have so many events and activities to choose from!
Graham Harris gave us a fascinating insight into the genealogical research he has been involved in. Not only has he been hidden away for hours in front of his computer screen, searching the internet for clues and information; he has spent countless hours in cemeteries and church yards poring over grave stones, studying OS maps and yet more days travelling about looking for evidence of where his subjects lived. This last activity has involved talking to villagers and visiting their homes, uncovering memories and evidence of who and what went before.
Each piece of evidence uncovered seems to lead to more questions... Truly an engrossing and engaging undertaking.
