Farnborough Ward Family History Library

Location and Open Times

Alan and Christine allow the Ward Family History Library to use the facilities of the Farnborough Dyslexia & Learning Centre for family history when they are not being used by students. Effectively this means that it will be open on the third Thursday in the month from 7.30pm to 9.30pm and most weekday mornings and evenings by prior appointment. The location can be found on their website or by clicking here. Please email Alan J K Johnson with details of when you would like to do this work.
