The Family History Group has been set up for any member who is interested in researching their own family history and/or the way of life of our ancestors. Newcomers to this rapidly growing hobby with no research experience at all are as welcome as a member who has traced back to the 16^th or 17^th century.

We meet on the second Monday of each month at the Open Learning Centre, Brakenhale School, Rectory Lane, Bracknell from 2.00 pm to about 3.30pm. We make a small charge to cover the cost of the hall and refreshments. If you are interested, just turn up to our next meeting or email

Activities include discussions, personal help,  mastering new research tactics and visits.

The Berkshire Family History Society website contains a comprehensive list of further links and points of general interest for family historians
