Membership Renewal
It's that time of year again where we ask you to renew your subscription for the coming year!
You can renew online through Parish Chest. Click on the membership product you wish to renew (either UK or Overseas, and either Journal by E-mail or Post) and then add it to your basket. Click the button to Checkout and enter your contact and billing address details. Please write your membership number in the ‘order notes’ box, so we can easily process your renewal.
For all other payment methods including bank transfer, standing orders, or cheques by post, please see pages 10-12 in the October issue of the Journal for details.
All subscriptions are due for renewal on 1st January 2027, but our membership secretary is always grateful to receive payments from now onwards. Thank you for continuing to be a member of East Surrey Family History Society!

World War II resulted in large numbers of Commonwealth citizens enlisting in the armed forces. During World War II, Afro-Caribbean and Black British women broke racial and gender barriers by serving in the British Armed Forces, working in munitions factories, volunteering as civil defense wardens, and using broadcasting to boost Allied morale. Figures like Lilian Bader and Constance Mark paved the way despite early official restrictions.
You are invited to the Zoom meetings.
