Why not try a new Interest Group in 2026?

Interest Groups meet monthly to discuss websites, publications, and member discoveries related to family history research in England & Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany. Alongside the geographic-based interest groups, we have DNA, Family Tree Maker Software, FamilySearch and Writing Interest Groups. You might even get help overcoming brick walls. FREE for members.
