Group Activities
In March 2020 the Trustees decided that all Groups would close, including the Family History Centre in Birmingham, until further notice. At regular Online meetings, the Trustees continue to discuss the viability of Groups re-opening which will happen as soon as government restrictions allow, but bearing in mind the practicalities of having to comply with any directives imposed.
The matter will continue to be discussed at all trustee meetings.
Always heed government advice, if in a risk group, stay at home.
Online Meetings
Whilst we are all in confinement or otherwise prevented from socialising, the society has been working on a series of online talks to take us through the summer months. From the beginning of June, we are pleased to announce we have been able to add virtual events to the programme.

Staffordshire Tithe Maps 1836-1845
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.
