HELP QUERIES

If you are asking other JGSGB members for help with your research, please tell us what you have already found (e.g. birth certificates, naturalisation documents) and which websites you have already searched.

RESPONDING TO REQUESTS FOR HELP

Please restrict your answer to facts, where you found the information, and pointers to further research suggestions. Thank you.

JGSGB: Notice of AGM 15 September 7.30pm

The 2020 AGM was to have been held on 10th May but, as a consequence of  the Covid-19 lockdown and in accordance with guidance issued by the Charity Commission, the Society’s Council agreed to its postponement. Council had hoped that it would be possible to hold a face-to-face  annual meeting by the autumn but now accept that this will not be possible. It has, therefore, decided to hold a virtual meeting using Zoom. The AGM will be held on Tuesday, 15th September at 7.30pm. The purpose of the meeting is: • to elect the officers of the Society (Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer) and up to 6 ordinary members of Council.
