Informal discussion group for members of Berks FHS, facilitated by Chad Hanna and Gillian Stevens. Topics are chosen by the group on a monthly basis. Topic for May is a continuation from April - yet more discoveries such as a visit to an archive, a new ancestor, more info about a known ancestor, learning about a new topic (such as AI) and so on. End time varies. Free to attend, but pre-booking required.
