Welcome!

I have been researching my family tree since my paternal grandfather died in 1976. Whilst researching my mother's ancestry I started recording every instance of her maternal grandmother's name FARMERY and so my one-name study was born! I now record every instance of the name I find all over the world, and my database currently contains over 51,600 name events. I am constructing family trees for each family group and try to put distant cousins in touch!

My study covers the FARMERY surname and known variants such as FARMEARY, FARMEREY, FARMARY and FARMERIE, as well as instances of the name being used as a forename rather than surname.

Lincolnshire Film Archive was set up in 1986 to locate and preserve motion picture film showing life and work in all parts of the county.  They have some amazing footage of the local area and members restore and repair old film.

Dr Susan Deal is a historian with a particular interest in everyday life in the Victorian period and is a member of the Victorian Society and editor of their South Yorkshire Group regional newsletter.
The raffle (donations of a prize are most welcome) will be in aid of the National Star College in Cheltenham.

For those wanting to make a weekend of it there will be an informal gathering at the Premier Inn Canwick on Friday evening, a more formal dinner in Lincoln on Saturday evening and a visit on Sunday morning. 

For more information or too advise that you plan to attend the gathering please email me.

[The date for next year is provisionally Saturday September 27th 2014 when it is hoped we will have guests from both Canada and Pennsylvania].
