New Books added to the NZSG Library Catalogue May 2022

1. NEW ACCESSIONS
INTO THE LIBRARY
Worth a Look!

2. The July 2002 issue of their magazine.
The Society, which was founded in 1983
by a few dedicated Family History class
students, has grown into an active
membership in excess of two hundred.
The area covered by the Society is
Weston-Super-Mare and the surrounding
parishes, which make up North Somerset
and also includes parishes from the
Registration District of Axbridge.

3. June 2022 – the quarterly magazine.
The Society was founded in 1977 and
is a member of the Federation of
Family History Societies and also a
registered charity with a brief to
educate and inform the public about
genealogy with its focus on the county
of Hertfordshire in the United
Kingdom.

4. Footprints is published quarterly in February,
May, August and November.
It contains a wealth of information including
Society news, diary of forthcoming meetings,
articles from our members, a list of members’
name interests, as well as regular updates from
the Northamptonshire Archives.
Also spotlighted are various resources to help
you with your research.

5. County Durham – all parishes south of a line from Hart
on the east coast to Middleton in Teesdale to the west.
North Yorkshire – most of the old North Riding from
Whitby to Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales.
The name Cleveland originated from an ancient district
which lay entirely to the south of the River Tees and
stretched as far south as Whitby on the north-east coast
of England. The name ‘Cleveland’ was adopted for a new
county which survived for only 22 years from 1974-1996,
having been created from its predecessor, Teesside,
and taking in Hartlepool.
The total area of genealogical interest, as you can see, is
substantially larger than this County of Cleveland from
which the Society originally took its name.

6. The Society assists in the extension of the Library's
collections by the acquisition of materials and the
encouragement of donations, and encourages
research and use of its world-renowned resources.
The Friends of the Turnbull Library conduct a
programme of activities relating to the specialised
interests of the Library, giving members an insight
into the Library's support of research in a wide
range of fields. It also offers an annual research
grant available to scholars whose research involves
use of the Library.

10. Highgate Past
by John Richardson
Highgate: 'the village on the hilltop'.
Anyone who has ever trudged up Highgate
Hill from Archway station to the village, or
from the bottom of Swains Lane to the
village, will identify with that statement. To
give a sense of the elevation of Highgate
village, apparently St Michael's Church is
on the highest ground in London. Its
entrance is level with the cross on the top
of St Paul's Cathedral - which helps put the
elevation into some sort of context.

11. This is a small selection of the Family History
Society Journals the Library holds as well as three
local history books. Please go to the Library
Catalogue and look for your county or area of
interest. You can borrow books for four weeks,
