The Chester Group of the Family History Society of Cheshire was formed in 1969. During that year the group joined with another family history group in Sale to form the Family History Society of Cheshire which was one of the earliest county family history societies in the country.
Monthly meetings are held on the last Thursday of the month except August and December starting at 7.30 pm at Upton-by-Chester Pavilion, Wealstone Lane, Chester CH2 1HD.
There is easy access and ample car parking space. The sign at the entrance is Upton Village Surgery and the building is in the left hand corner of the car park next to the tennis courts.
Most meetings feature a speaker on an aspect of family history or local interest. As well as a talk, there is a family history help desk and the opportunity to discuss family history topics with other members. Many members have particular areas of knowledge on family history or experience with using computers and the internet for family history.
