The MA Genealogy Panel
The Midland Ancestors Genealogy Panel was set up in September 2025 to help our members with their family history research.
There is a small pool of experienced members who can be called on to help with content-related tasks.
The Panel consists of a list of people who are willing to help with your requests and queries which will be forwarded to individuals who have the relevant knowledge to solve your query.
To request help, please send the general details to Mike Sharpe who will allocate a suitable person to look into your query.
