Hello do you have a free morning once a month?
If so perhaps you may consider joining the group of volunteer's that work on the Society's Help Desk at Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury?
Our aim is to get back to having volunteers available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning from 10am until 1pm but we currently need more volunteers if we are to be able to achieve that aim.
There are two of the group on duty each session, helping visitors with the Family History enquiries which can be very varied and interesting and occasionally provide an insight into aspects of research that have later helped volunteers progress their own research. Training sessions are provided both by the staff of the Archives and through the fact that for the initial few sessions new volunteers will be paired up with a volunteer who has experience.
You don't have to be a computer expert or an expert in Genealogy, you just need to be a member of Shropshire Family History Society, know your way around researching family history and be able to get to Shropshire Archives once a month.
If you are interested in joining our group of volunteers and would like to find out more I would love to hear from you.
