ABOUT THE GROUP
Leigh & District
Family History Society was formed in 1982.
Meetings are held at Leigh Library throughout the winter months.
Meetings
take place in the Derby Room at Leigh Library. They start at 7.30 pm and are
held on the third Tuesday of each month except June and July.
The winter session starts
in August and usually takes the form of a Beginners’ Evening when members and
newcomers are able to use the Group’s microfiche viewers and library
facilities to carry out their own research.
Other
meetings usually have a family history related speaker but members are always
able to browse and borrow books from the Group’s library.
Members
have been involved in many projects over the years. The first project was a compilation of the whereabouts for
all church records for the whole of the area covered by Leigh & District and
surrounding areas.
Monumental
Inscriptions recording is carried out regularly by members and the following
churchyards and cemeteries have been recorded.
