Having joined the Largs and North Ayrshire FHS in January, I was finally able to attend one of their meetings last night, which was in fact the annual general meeting, held at the local library, at which various reports were given on the society's past year's successful series of talks and visits.
The organisation celebrates its twenty first anniversary next year, so there is no better time to join, with annual membership costing just £12, or £15 for family membership or overseas. The society's Spring Journal (no. 53) has also just been published, and contains articles on the Buchanites, tracing Merchant Navy ancestry, DNA and genealogy, and much more.
For more information on what the society has to offer and on how it can help with your research, visit the website at http://www.largsnafhs.org.uk/.
