Home – Lasbury Family History

Some years ago I visited the graveyard of St. John the Baptist Church at Midsomer Norton and began photographing the graves of people with familiar surnames. That trip resulted in over 200 images and I have been slowly working through those images, identifying the individuals, researching their ancestors and linking them up with other families in the records.

This update of the website includes a large number of new names and records with the grave images soon to be uploaded.

There are now 376 grave photos from Midsomer Norton on record with many more to come considering this website has records for 1142 burials at Midsomer Norton.

The Family Historian Zoom Group is not yet a year old but it has become very popular for helping new and experienced users of Family Historian genealogy software.

It was started by Derek Heritage after he spent some time looking for video tutorials about the program but couldn’t find the help he wanted. The group members meet online, usually every 2 weeks, using the Zoom video conferencing service. This means users can meet on screen, share written comments and files, ask and answer each others questions and even demonstrate methods and features using the “screen share” features of Zoom.

The group membership has grown to well over a 100 members from places including UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.

Each meeting is recorded and the video archive is available to members with an index being produced with time markers to indicate where each topic was discussed/demonstrated.

There is a sub group for those users who use Family Historian with ORA (Online Repository Assistant).

The Family Historian Zoom Group website is https://fhzg.co.uk/ and they have a Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/familyhistorianzoomgroup
