What our members say
I watch the videos later on at my leisure and this has certainly helped me understand the FH software.
Peter, UK
I wanted to send you a note of thanks for this user group and all the resources.
Terry, USA
I have already had a meeting with Ian on Zoom operations and I have a meeting with Helen tomorrow morning on plugins... I couldn't have asked for anything more in my first week as a member of your group. Thank you for setting it up!
Martyn, France
I really enjoy the group sessions and can't imagine having to learn FH from just the book or the help files.
Bill, UK
I wish I had known sooner that this group was starting up.
David, Canada
Thank you very much for setting up this group for us users of Family Historian. You and your amazing team of helpers freely share your time and knowledge with us. The recordings are a brilliant resource.

I look forward to viewing future webinars. They are typically excellent.

I am so glad you started this group. I get so much from the zoom sessions, even the ones that are way above my ability level.
