Welcome to the East Surrey FHS

For the past forty two years the East Surrey Family History Society has been helping members trace their family history whether they have family connections to the East Surrey area or enjoy attending events connected with family, social or local history.

If you are new to family history then we can help put you on the path to good research. Not all records are available on the internet and some of those are very confusing. If you are more experienced then we can reinforce your knowledge with additional information or techniques.

Joining a family history society means that you can meet like-minded People with the same enthusiasm for this fascinating subject, ready to pass on tips and hints from their own research.

ESFHS Sutton Branch will close at the end of 2019

unless someone comes forward

Over a year ago Joanna announced at a Sutton meeting she would retire from the role as chairman at the 2019 AGM after 13 years of service, but as speakers had been booked till December 2019 she stayed on. The Executive Committee is sad to announce that still no one has come forward to replace her.

This is now an urgent request for help as speakers for next year cannot be confirmed until we know the Branch is viable.

Joanna assures everyone that the position is not onerous – in brief, the task involves

  • renewing the annual hall bookings

  • opening and closing the monthly meetings

  • liaising with the Sutton Secretary who has arranged the speakers for the year

There is always help from members to set up at the beginning, and tidy away at the end, of meetings and Joanna would be very happy to mentor her successor.

Please contact Joanna jlreynolds30@gmail.com or Don, for further details or secretary02@eastsurreyfhs.org.uk to offer to take on the role.

The Committee would like to extend a huge ‘thank you’ to Joanna for all she has done over her 13 years in the role at Sutton.
