Like it a lot, could open up a whole new can of history of the City.Morturn said: “It reminds me how little history I know”
Mikejee said: “I think that there is still much in archives that have been collected that has not yet been properly exploited”
The above two comments seem to me a fundamental reason for BHF’s continuance. Genealogy can be as much a part of those two statements too.
Yes, it would be nice if recipients of our research efforts put something back into BHF. This is an untapped resource. So before we go ahead and give out that family information, maybe we should be asking them their reason for seeking it: who are the people, what do they know about them so far, eg jobs, schools, their connections with Birmingham ........ anything. As Morturn said, history is also about “ engaging” people. It is within our power to engage members and explore the history with them. Viv.
