Nuneaton & North Warwickshire Family History Society - Nnwfhs Description
Family History is one of the most pleasurable and fastest growing leisure activities today. It is very interesting but can be a daunting task for the beginner.
The NNWFHS started life as the Nuneaton Family History Group. Because of our rapidly increasing membership and the family interests that many of our members have in North Warwickshire we expanded our area and changed our name to reflect this in April 1998. In 2009 we reviewed our working area again and included a few new parishes.
We welcome all levels of interest. If you are starting out, we can set you on the right path and show you how and where to access the records you need. If you are stuck, we can show you where to go next. We can also help you to find other people who share your surname interests and , although we cannot help you to find living relatives, we do understand that you may wish to find long-lost cousins.

Sometimes just trying to sort out some "junk" unearths a few family treasures! Helping the in laws clear off a shelf and found some old photos, newspaper clippings and post cards! Totally priceless!
Morning all! It's a bit on the breezy side today, so a good option is to stay indoors and start doing some family history. Don't forget we have our next meeting on Tuesday evening if you're interested in coming along. Keep an eye out for our FREE helpdesks at local libraries throughout the month. And don't forget you can ask us questions on here too!
Busy morning at Bristol. Meeting members and recruiting new ones. Come along!

Our next meeting is on Tuesday at 7.30pm - a good chance to come along and get a copy of the new book about Baddesley Pit Explosion! And to meet our new chair - Val Pickard!
Today is a research day! Warwick Records Office is a great place to come. The staff are friendly and helpful and there's so many different resources at your fingertips! Sometimes it's good to see the original documents.
While having a browse today, I came across this advert for Lindley Hall Country Club in 1939! I've never heard of it before - have you? Has anyone got any connections with it? Where was it? Any ideas?
