Membership is growing rapidly and now comfortably exceeds 800,
about 20% of total KFHS members. In practice the Branch is an
E-mail discussion group administered by KFHS member Malcolm
Austen.
Messages sent to the list by one member are copied to all other
participants. In this way any information which you may wish
to share, or any help which you may need in tracing your family
history, can be put to over 800 people who have common aims.
The willingness to help others in the group has to be experienced
in order to believe it!
To join you must first be a current member of the KFHS. An application
form is available on this site or you can purchase your membership
by credit or debit card through the
KFHS Shopping Cart. An alternative for overseas researchers
is to send your applications to one of our Agents in USA, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand who have been appointed to process
payments in local currency.
Once you have received confirmation of KFHS membership, just
visit:
http://lists.bcn.mythic-beasts.com/mailman/listinfo/kfhs-members
to join the Global Branch. You will then receive a welcome message
and start to receive messages sent to the list. It's a good
idea to just read the messages for a few days before sending
in a query of your own.
It costs
nothing extra to join the Global Branch and it is very easy
to
leave it if you do not wish to continue. There are some notes
on the use of the list at http://www.mno.org.uk
