Blackwood – Regular Meeting

Before we got on with the business for the evening, Hillary read out the notices. The most important of which was that, due to the school closing for Easter, the April meeting is to be brought forward a week. So please note next scheduled meeting will be on the 4th April at the usual time. Liz gave out a list of ideas for trips and asked members to fill in a form to say which if any they would be interested in.Once the formalities were over & after some early problems with the computer, we were treated to an interesting insight into the “Tucker Family” given by Pauline Weaver. She related how a failed attempt to get Cilla Black, to include her search in the TV series, prompted her to do her own research. The outcome was a trip to the USA & a subsequent meeting with a long lost relative.

The rest of the evening was devoted to family research. A mother & daughter searching for an elusive member of their family, ably assisted by one of our experienced members & thinking about joining.

I had a few words with one of our regular members. I asked him what his interest in family history was. I was surprised at his answer. He had little interest in family history, but enjoyed the atmosphere at the meetings and came with a friend, because he was on his own and looked forward to some company. That says a lot for the branch I think.
