Monthly meetings take place at Shire Way Community Centre, Shire Way, Yate on the second Wednesday of each month. The doors open at 7.00 p.m., and the meeting starts at 7.30. The speaker begins at approximately 8.00 p.m. There is no
admission charge, but we do have a silver collection and raffle. Experienced
members are always on hand for advice, and there is a fiche and viewer lending
service. Refreshments are available, and there are adjoining bar facilities.
The
Sodbury Vale Family History Group
produced the South Gloucestershire Burials Index
as a contribution towards the National Burial Index (NBI), published by the
Federation of Family History Societies. Our on-line version contains the
additional information of the abode of the person at the time of their death -
