THIS WEB-SITE WAS LAUNCHED
ON 3rd MAY 2005 AND IS CONSTANTLY UNDER REVIEW - PLEASE BEAR WITH US An initial meeting was held in An Drochaid [The Bridge] in Claggan,
Fort William on 1st Sept 2004 to "test out the potential for some kind of ... group for people who are interested in
tracing family roots"; After a further meeting at An
Drochaid we had, courtesy of St Andrew's Episcopal church, Fort William our meetings in their church hall . Our
objective is, of course, to find our own premises where we can store our Family History records and, eventually, have
micro-Fiche/Film readers and computer(s). We currently hold our Meetings in the Public Library, Airds Crossing, Fort William - where
we have access to Computers and Fiche/Film readers for the Censuses and OPRs - on the 2nd Tuesday of the month - except June,
July and August when we take our Summer break.

group' was appointed and 'directed operations' until Group Officers were appointed at our 1st AGM in Sept 2005.
