The Family History Group was formed in 2008. It is a sub-group of the Hebden Bridge Local History Society and has links with the Calderdale Family History Society who were involved in its formation.
The aim of the group is to promote and assist the study of genealogy and family history, the prime interest being the study of people and where they live. It does this by offering members an opportunity to meet like-minded people locally and to share their interests, resources and experience. (More information...)
We are about to continue the transcriptions of gravestones in the Heptonstall Graveyard.
This work was undertaken in the past by a group from the Local History Society under the leadership of Ken Stott.
The results can be accessed on this website.
There are still many graves to transcribe and we hope to complete this work by next year.
Anyone interested in joining this group please contact Barbara Atack.
Beginners’ workshops and drop-in sessions are held in the Local History Society Archive Room at the Birchcliffe Centre on Thursdays and Saturdays respectively. Dates are listed below.
