Welcome to the Lincolnshire Family History Society Website

Talk - Planning and Organising your Family History Research with Helen Tovey

Just a reminder that any member can attend the next Lincoln Branch meeting - Saturday 11th April 2026 at 2pm

Make your life simpler and get better research results - A simple research plan and a set of steps to keep your family history well organised!

Please click here to see the Lincoln Branch page for more information.

There are three ways to attend the talk:

• In-person - the pleasure of a live talk, ask the speaker questions, chat with other members, enjoy the warmth of the company (and the central heating).
• On-line - email Lincoln Branch for an invitation link, then join through Microsoft Teams from your own home (wherever that may be), ask questions of the speaker and no need to dress up (but please - no inappropriate clothing unless your camera is off...😉) 
• Listen to the recording - thanks to the new microphones, the efforts of volunteers and the agreement of the speaker the recording of the talk will be made available in the Members Only Area for a period of two weeks. Watch it from wherever you are and whatever time you like or timezone you are in - pause it, rewind it, listen to the questions and answers (and wish you were there to enjoy it all).

Will we see you there? More details on the events page. If you need help accessing the MOA, then please contact us by clicking here
