The Suffolk Family History Society celebrates 50 years!
Ipswich Group, Suffolk Family History Society next meets at 7:30pm, Wednesday 3rd December
The Talk will be by Linda Sexton, who presents: “By Stagecoach through Suffolk”
We will go back to the late 18th century for an Ipswich to Yarmouth journey before railways or petrol engined vehicles.
A Stagecoach was the main means of travel for those without a carriage, and the Ipswich to South Town and the Bungay Turnpike Trust were responsible for the maintenance of the road we now know as the A12.
How did the system work, when did it come end?
Join us aboard The Star or The Telegraph to find out more.
As people are planning to travel at Christmas - compare with what their ancestors endured.
The talk takes place at:
The Salvation Army Citadel, 558, Woodbridge Road, Ipswich Suffolk IP4 4PH
Easy parking at the rear.
Entry costs £3 for Society members, £4 for non-members who are also warmly welcomed. Pay CASH at the Door.

The long, colder winter nights are the ideal time to start thinking about creating your Family Tree.
Step one: Sort through any family Documents, get them together - with any photos showing members of your Family. With photos - if unlabelled - use sticky labels - write on them in pen or pencil what they show, stick labels on the reverse of the photos. Don't write directly on the back. Christmas is a good time to quiz family members for information, stories & photos they have. Start a basic tree!
We are preparing to run a short Course in the early New Year on how to grow your Family History Research.
