MFHS stand at Family History Show March 2024
Vanessa, Jean, Catherine, Karen and Wendy await customers

It was good to see so many in the Severn Hall at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern on Saturday 16 March for The Family History Show, organised by S&N Genealogy Supplies, and sponsored by  thegenealogist.co.uk

We had a stand there and spent a busy day answering people’s questions about the society and what we do and offering advice on their family history queries. Our tables of new and secondhand books for sale proved very popular.

A number of other family history societies were present, including Herefordshire, Somerset & Dorset, Wiltshire and Midland Ancestors. Also in attendance were the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and Families in British India Society, the Society of Genealogists and the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives, and commercial companies offering genealogy storage supplies and historical maps. MFHS members Dave and Jo Hobro were there with their family-tree-drawing service. Visitors were able to enjoy free talks from professional genealogists throughout the day and book appointments with experts to get one-to-one advice.

Other Family History Shows organised by S&N Genealogy Supplies this year will take place at York Racecourse on 22 June and Kempton Park Racecourse (the London show) on 5 October. Tickets are on sale now:  https://thefamilyhistoryshow.com/ This was S&N’s first visit to the Malvern showground and we hope they will return soon.
