FFHS Forum
Welcome to the Forum (http://www.ffhs.org.uk/forum/index.php)
The FFHS Forum was established through 2008 as a benefit of Membership but also with a wider focus on Family Historians and those with similar interests, to bring you into the arena of Family History Societies. In this respect the FFHS Forum is open for all to use. You can place a notice of an event, initiate or contribute to an online discussion on an issue, developing trends, access to archives or even place a request for advice. It is not intended to replace the existing excellent lists that can be found online but to add another dimension for you. This is a global facility for those who are administering, have interests in or have links with Family History research in the UK.
Family Historians and FFHS Members, this is your Forum and you can tailor it to your needs. You do not need to logon to read the postings but to take an active part in the forum you need to register. You can access a number of public areas:
- Events
- The Federation
- Family History Societies
- General
In addition, a number of focus group areas have been set up allowing you open access:
- Non County Based
- Overseas
- East Anglia Group
- North West Group
- South West Area Group
- West Midlands area Group
Limited access focus group areas can also be set up by request to the Forum Administrator. You can request to join a focus group or ask for a group to be initiated. You will be given access to these areas, if you are subscribed to them, when you log on. Membership of these groups is normally by invitation.
Registering for the FFHS Forum is simple. On the left hand side of this page you will find an 'FFHS Forum' button. One click and you will arrive at the registration page. Click the 'Help' tab and read the notes, these will give you instructions for using the Forum. Click 'register' at the top of the home page, complete the form and read and click the 'I Agree' box, then click 'Register'. You will then be able to complete your profile and start to use the Forum.
