Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Hi , i have just joined. I am from a new Manchester & Salfrod family history forum. As many of our ancestors may well have either migrated from our fair cities toy yours or the surrounding areas, i thought i might place our forum on your site and by vise versa do the same for your site on ours
I am sure your member would have a greater knowledge of your city and surrounding areas, as we would with ours? Our aims are much the same as your, helping people to find who makes them who they are. So every little bit of hep is always a bonus.

Welcome! You are very brave doing this on the day when the two Reds teams played each other.

There is lots of help on here, so I hope you will pick up some new twigs for your tree.

Well you can see by my avatar where my allegiance lies but welcome and I have the odd query or two which your forum may be able to help me with. I will visit in the future, thank you.

Hi and welcome to our forum. Indeed we have often travelled into your local, and it would be useful sometimes to have first hand knowledge of the area.

Our Annual Conference and AGM was held at Leigh yesterday and one of the speakers told us about the Leech Archives at Chetham's Library, one amazing (or could even say weird) family but what a huge wealth of documents they left behind them. http://www.chethams.org.uk/index.html

Hi all and thank you for the warm welcome. Yestereds match held little interest for me, well only that i want a red team to win from your side of the county, but a draw suited me. Now i won't say what team i support, but does any one want to by a little Argentinian who doesn't want to play football. We don't need him and we don't want him, if it was down to me i would make him play Sunday league football, those people play for the love of the game.
I have posted your forum on our site this morning

Hello MaryA, Chetham's Library has a wealth of research if you have links to our fair city but advised like most place to make an appoinment befor visiting.
Another place worth visiting if you have time when here would be the John Rylands library on Deansgate

Thank you for your hints, they are good to be aware of.

Please make sure that if any of your members wish to visit the Liverpool Record Office they check out our post Liverpool Library and Help Desk Closure which will be updated when plans are changed.

Although the Help Desk is manned regularly every Tuesday afternoon, it is temporarily, together with the microfilm archives, in the World Museum while the documents are in the satellite premises near Sandhills. This archive requires an appointment. Would hate anybody to travel quite a distance not knowing any arrangements they need to make.

Welcome aboard It will be great to help one another and share.
We are all "genies" at heart.
