Lochaber And North Argyll Family History Group

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 have, courtesy of St Andrew's Episcopal church, Fort William had our meetings in their church hall on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. 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).

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