Macclesfield Group
Dennis Whyte has relinquished the leadership of the Macclesfield Group. Rosie Rowley has been co-opted onto the committee as Group Leader until our AGM in September.
Dennis remains an active member of the Group but caring for his wife Pam now takes up much of his time, and prevents him regularly attending meetings.
We wish Dennis and Pam well and plan to formally thank them at our AGM.

As prophesied by Dorothy Bintley at our last meeting familysearch.org has completely changed. To take advantage of it's new features you will have to register. These are adding your own photographs and family trees, but just to search you won't need to, just click on search and everything will operate the same as before.

Unfortunately the March ancestor Membership Renewal - Standing Order Form in the centre pages,has been printed with an old sort code which has now probably been removed from most banks systems, so when this is input it is unrecognisable.
The correct sort code is 72-00-01, so any queries from startled members attempting to set up a new mandate with their bank may well meet the problem.

Yesterday I attempted to add members to our new members only email list. Unfortunately I had technical issues that mean the method of implementation will need to change.
Apolgies to those few members who received one or more emails (subscribe/unsubscribe) during the failure. You wil not receive any more emails until the issue is resolved.
The arrival of emails was foretold in the December Cheshire Ancestor.
Regards
Alan

A new section has been created on our website for members to submit their stories. These are long articles - much too long for the Ancestor, but probably a little too short for private publishing.
You will need to be logged in, then go to the Members Only menu in the bottom right-hand corner and click on the link for On-line Research Resources.

There is more to see here if you are a member of our Society – some areas are only available to members, but you may be having problems logging in.
Our new website was launched in November 2008 and at that time anyone with a known email address was sent their individual log in details, and for new members these are automatically generated and sent to you by email. However, we all forget our passwords at times and forget to tell people when we change our email addresses. In order to log in our society MUST have your current email address, so if you have changed addresses recently or have never told us before please get in touch with Maurice Stokes via:

Alan Bennett - Chairman
Have you seen the web-browser toolbar provided by MLFHS?
Did you ever think why dont we have one? Well now we do!!!!!!!
It will work if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox on Windows. If you have an Apple Mac then it only works with Safari.
You can download it here or from the new main menu item or from the banner at the bottom of the page. The banner is nice as it shows you how the toolbar looks.
Please download and use it as each use generates income for the society, not a lot but we like it.
Once you have it installed any new content will be automatically installed, so no need to re-install.
If you have any ideas for further content then let us know at
