The Branch normally meets at the St. Johns' Arts & Recreation Centre, Market Street, Old Harlow . This building is the former St John the Baptist church which has been converted into a well used recreation centre and is an appropriate building for family historians to meet.

Our meetings start at 2.45pm but the hall is open from 2.00pm for members to make use of the research facilities consisting of a library of genealogy books and fiche of 1881 census for some counties of England & Wales, I.G.I., and all the fiche produced by the society. A comprehensive bookstall is also available.

All are welcome at the meetings, so come along and meet other family historians.
