It's been a week unlike any other. We would like to share a message from our
founders with you:

As of Friday March 13th, we have taken the decision to close the Family History Centre to the public.

We are taking the best advice of our medical experts, and closing our doors.
The centre will remain closed in March.
All scheduled events have been cancelled until at least the end of April. 
We're in unchartered waters, but we trust we'll see you on the other side!

Thank you for your support,
Fiona Fitzsimons & Brian Donovan
 
Keep in touch:
We will continue to post updates on our website, and also via social media, so make sure you stay tuned in.

Meanwhile, hopefully we can help you to break up the tedium and escape the isolation. Check out our online services:
