You can usually visit before you join as a 'taster', so that you do not have to pay out any money and you can see what it is like. (Or pay out as a 'guest' one-off) |

I do not know where you are researching, or what your local history society is like, but try this link for an example of what they could get up to, and how it all works. |

family history societies are really good, I belong to 2 Huddersfield and Lincolnshire, though I can't get to meetings. They cost me £10 a year each and I get 4 magazines a year from each which are fascinating. They have a vast amount of resources. The members and committee are very knowledgeable and very helpful |

I live in Kent although born in London and ancestors mostly from Essex . i joined the local branch of the Kent Family History Society and the help has been invaluable. We have monthly meetings with a guest speaker on all sorts of subjects and not confined to Kent history, plus there are several members who have been most helpful in the knowledge of where to find info. |
