Report: Kate Hurst
It’s the start of a new membership year at Ormskirk and Family History Society, and the group are making big plans! The usual live shows aren’t really feasible just now; instead, their volunteers will be attending the virtual 'Really Useful Show' on Saturday 10 April, and visitors can enjoy the event from the comfort of their own homes. Besides ODFHS, they’ll be able to call on the help of more than fifty other family history societies (including others, like ODFHS, who are part of the North-West Group of Family History Societies). All kinds of other useful organisations, including photographic history advisors, magazines and family tree printers, will be on hand, and more than twenty talks on all sorts of family history topics will be available to enjoy - if that interests you, more information and ticket details here: https://www.fhf-reallyuseful.com/ To mark the occasion, ODFHS has just released a brand-new promotional video. Their original short film confidently stated that there were 31,000 individuals listed on their boat families database at www.boatfamilies.website - and that was absolutely true when it was made in January 2017. Since the most recent update last month, that figure's past the 53,000 mark, so you might say that a new version was long overdue...
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zizGZaGHbiQ Diving further into the digital world, ODFHS are hosting their very first Zoom meeting at 8pm on Wednesday 28 April. Conscious that many of their members will have been limited to online research for more than a year, and that many more people will be using their time to get started on their family history, the April meeting will have a 'Help Desk' theme. All are welcome; anyone wishing to attend is asked to contact Kate Hurst (ODFHS Chair) at chairman@odfhs.email for log-in details.
