Carol Morris - Editor Although the Society announces itself as 'Chesterfield and Lynne Earland - District' and goes on to say in the blurb that it covers 'The Ass Editor Old Scarsdale Hundred.' Would anyone in Canada or even the south of England or Scotland know what the Scarsdale Neil Wilson - Hundred was? They may just see 'Chesterfield' and think Web master & 'That's not for me' without realizing that it covers the whole Programme organiser of north east Derbyshire and includes the bits like Beighton, Norton, Mosborough and so on that were taken in by Shef- Terry Cocking - Printing field. and promotions I appreciate that we cannot change the name of the Society but could we add a bit - say Chesterfield and District FHS Members (including north east Derbyshire) or something along those Enid Gilthorpe - lines......

Margaret told us that she considers herself to be a novice genealogist and wanted to demon- strates how, by making use of the many resources available, it is possible to solve some very challenging problems. (Marion will be covering the fuller story and it will be in the next magazine) Margaret had begun her families tree in 2009 when the weather was particularly bad, but the line she spoke to us about had proved particularly difficult. Then she joined CADFHS and progress was made by using available resources. Margaret then told us how she had also been inspired by Marion's member talk about resources available to Family Historians, and also Eileen's talk about the use of Wills to assist in research. She said that she did not have a story such as Carol’s Lalle,but hoped that by sharing her her own experiences with other members might benefit and also be encouraged to share their stories too..... ........
