AN ONLINE talk next week will look at a chapter of British Indian history.

The Reading Branch of Berkshire Family History Society is hosting the event, entitled A Grandmothers Legacy: Serendipity Follows Me On My Journey.

It looks not at ancient history but at that of our own, focusing on five generations who lives through the days of the Raj.

Jenny Mallin will lead the season and says: “Through a short and fascinating glimpse into the lives of my ancestors, we learn more about my own journey in the realisation that with both parents now elderly and frail, that the passing of their lives would mark the end of an era of those generations which went before me who were part of a chapter of British Indian history.”

The society aims to present a look at the importance of preserving a family heritage, whjile being an entertaining presentation showing the lengths some go to in order to achieve the impossible and the outcome of one’s efforts in a positivel way.

This talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society, and or a donation of £5 from non-members. Pre-booking is required, because the meeting link will be emailed in advance. Booking ends one day before event, which is held via Zoom on Thursday, September 28, from 7.45pm.
