Some of you will know that Family Tree Live is taking place at Alexandra Palace in London at the end of April. MFHS is neither taking a stand there nor planning a group visit, partly because of the cost of getting to and staying in London. However, the good news is that one of the major exhibitors, Family Tree Maker (FTM), is coming to Malvern ahead of the show and we have an additional meeting in April.

The meeting is at the Eden Centre from 7pm to 9pm, starting promptly at 7pm. I know many members use FTM and I expect others would like to see what it can do for you. There will be no MFHS announcements: it’s straight into FTM.

The event will consist of an interactive class going over how to use the current version of FTM and explanations of what they have added in the latest update. They will bring along their products with great pricing for members to take advantage of, but there is no obligation to purchase.

If you are interested in coming to this special Family Tree Maker event with us, FTM would like to know the level of interest. Therefore please register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/family-tree-maker-mfhs-tickets-59022806804 .This is a very simple process. To help fill the hall for FTM I am also contacting neighbouring societies. I expect demand to be high, and therefore the sooner you register, the better.
