The Trustees held an online meeting this week to discuss the viability of Groups re-opening. After consulting with our Groups, it was decided that all Groups would continue to be closed, including the Family History Centre in Birmingham, until at least the New Year. The Trustees will meet again in November to review the situation and then make a further decision.

In view of the current Government advice, all Midland Ancestors events and meetings are suspended as of today. This includes the Family History Centre in Birmingham, outings, members meetings, both in Birmingham and at satellite groups.
The situation will be monitored and will be reviewed as and when the position changes.
If you attend one of our satellite groups, please stay in contact with the group organisers either via our website or through the local group.
We will try to keep you up to date with the current situation using this website, via the society Facebook pages and Twitter feeds, and updates may be made available through local group newsletters.

In conjunction with The Friends of Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Archive Service, Midland Ancestors has part-funded a project to digitise some tithe maps for the period 1836-1845. The tithe schedules for the maps can be searched on Owner, Occupier, Parish or Plot Number. The plot numbers are clearly shown on the high quality map images. Parishes covered by our sponsorship of this project are :- Darlaston, Walsall, Wednesbury, Wednesfield, West Bromwich, Willenhall and Wolverhampton. The maps can be viewed in the Family History Centre at the BMI.
