SUFFOLK FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY

                                    STRADBROKE & EYE GROUP 

                                              



 If you saw BBC TV’s WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? 

You will know that tracing your family tree is fun and fulfilling!

If you are thinking about researching your own family history then why not take advantage of the Suffolk Family History Society, formed in 1975, which has many thousands of members worldwide and nine local groups active within Suffolk.

Your local group, formed in 2005, meets at the Community Centre, Wilby Road, Stradbroke and is keen to build on a good start and attract new people to its monthly meetings.

There is a programme of guest speakers who cover diverse subjects of interest to family historians.

Help and advice on tracing your family tree can be sought from experienced and friendly family historians while the group’s research tools and materials can be used to assist you in finding and understanding your ancestors.

You don’t need to be a member to come to the meetings – all are welcome.

Meetings start at 7.30 p.m. with an entry fee of £2.00, which includes coffee & biscuits.
