The
Rossendale Society for
Genealogy & Heraldry
was established in Bury in
April 1973.
A branch at Lancaster was formed in 1984 as the
Lancaster Family
History Society
on 15th of March 1984 in
Lancaster,
Harold Wilkinson
was elected our first Chairman.
Following the initial meeting at the Trades Hall
on Fenton Street, Lancaster,
the branch moved to
the modern
Public Library at Morecambe and adopted the name
of the Lancaster & Morecambe branch.
Since then members have accumulated a vast
amount
of local knowledge relating to History &
Genealogy.
The branch has transcribed most of the Parish
registers
for this part of North Lancashire and there can
be few
grave yards in the area that have not been
recorded
by our famous team the
'Dead Club'
Following our
successful presentations of;
'Who do
you Lancastrians think you are?'
Commencing in 2009,
the branch meeting will also take place on
selected THURSDAY AFTERNOONS
at MORECAMBE LIBRARY 2.00 pm.
The
branch usually meets on the third Thursday of each month,
at
the Church Hall of the Church of the Good Shepherd
at
Torrisholme, Nr. Lancaster.
Buses 2, 2a, 3 and 4 between Lancaster & Morecambe
stop in Torrisholme Square.
Good, free, Car Parking is at the Church Hall
and in, and around, the village square.
Lancaster & Morecambe is just one of thirteen branches of
the
Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society
our branches cover the Northern half of the historic County
and London.
The highly populated areas of Manchester and Liverpool have
their own
Family History Societies.
