We also have an organisational update for you: 

After a year as Interim CEO and overseeing our soon to be opening new home at Wharf Road, Patrick Barker is waving a fond farewell to the Society of Genealogists in December.

Existing SoG team members, Rebecca Gregory and Natalie Pithers are delighted to announce they will be stepping into Interim Co-CEO roles. Natalie, previously responsible for Project and Communications Management, has been an avid genealogist since her teenage years. Rebecca has been a member of the SoG team for 3 years as Head of Membership and has overseen many developments in our membership packages and services. Both Rebecca and Natalie are excited to be a part of both SoG’s history and future.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Society of Genealogists. The Staff and Members alike have made me feel extremely welcome, and their passion for the past has been contagious! Whilst I am sad to be leaving, I am thrilled to be handing over the reins to two people so dedicated to the SoG’s mission to help people discover and explore their heritage”. – Patrick Barker.
