Covid 19 up-date
Following Government advice, our research centres are closed at present and all group meetings have been cancelled, we hope to still keep in touch by sending out more regular newsletters and you will still be notified when the latest copy of the Ancestor goes online. While we are all social isolating/distancing this is a perfect opportunity to catch up on some research. You can visit our website to:
- register your surname interests in our surnames directory (worldwide locations allowed)
- post queries in our Research Forum to see if other researchers can assist you (separate forums for non-members and members)
- get access to the Worldwide Exchange Journals collection we hold, just in case there are any useful snippets
- download our research guides to help you with your research
- download material from our shop which has a growing collection of Memorial Inscriptions and other useful research material (available to anyone)
Membership Renewals at the end of June
Disruption to public services or being confined to home may make it more difficult for members to renew their subscriptons. We would, therefore, like to recommend members who normally pay by cheque to use one of the following methods
1) An instruction to your bank to transfer your subscription directly to the FHSC Santander bank account, Sort Code 72-00-01 Account Number 22835506. Using your membership number as the payment reference.
2) Set up a Standing Order with your Bank, using the mandate inside the March and June printed copies of Cheshire Ancestor.
Make certain to include your membership number as ID in the appropriate space on the mandate.
3) Make a payment using Paypal, quoting your membership number as ID.
4) Use the FHSC website to renew your membership directly.
Whichever method you decide to use, please remember to clearly identify your membership number and your Surname. It can be difficult for us to identify your payment without your membership number. The easiest way to find your membership number is to log on to our website and scroll down to the last column on the.right under My Membership Status then click Update my details/renew. You will find it under FHSC Membership. If you are really having problems logging in please contact: Gay J Oliver:
We are all hoping that the present sitiaution will abate as soon as possible. In the meantime, we wish everyone continuing good health and good progress with their family history research, and we look forward to resuming our normal activities as soon as it is safe to do so

Chairman
