Venue - The Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury SY2 6ND
Subject - "Caribbean Family History Research in the UK and its Growth"
Speaker - Carlston Walters
The Caribbean Family History Group evolved - Solihull & Birmingham. (Initially just Solihull to indicate where we operated from) which involved from courses that were being run locally.
The group met on a bi-monthly basis from 2008 where we had meetings to share what we had learned, listened to speakers, sought to develop etc..
In the intervening months and at other times, those of us that could, would go down to London - to the LDS Family History Centre to view the microfilm records of the Caribbean islands, that they held there (now at National Archives).
The CFHG went back to Who Do You Think You Are 2012 after the experience in 2011 where they learnt just how relevant Caribbean Family History research is to both Afro Caribbeans and Europeans with ancestry that lived there for a while. They achieved this and once again had a good experience, which they hope to repeat in 2013"
