THE FUTURE OF FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETIES
he new President of the Family History Federation, Dr Janet Few, is keen to see family history societies embracing the technology, Janet Few expands on her ideas, and thoughts on the ways in which family history societies can benefit from virtual meetings – from larger audiences, to enabling members from worldwide to attend. Such an approach has the advantage of enlarging the pool from which committee members may be recruited too. In addition it may also open the doors of family history societies to the new and younger online communities of genealogists – a topic about which Janet Few is very passionate.
