Our members’ meetings are held monthly over Zoom to allow our members across the world to join us. These meetings offer the opportunity to hear and discuss the varied aspects of family history.
They are usually held on the third Tuesday evening of the month (except July and August and the potential for a bit of juggling of the December date). Below is the list of scheduled talks.
We also hold occasional in-person meetings and events, usually in The Old Chapel Community Centre, Cross Houses, Near Shrewsbury, SY5 6JH. What3Words: ///convinces.uniform.surfed. These will be publicised when details are available.
As a subscribed member of SFHS, you will automatically receive details of meetings via email, well in advance of the event.
