Portsmouth England Family History Centre

Closures:

'' Please note that Portsmouth Family History Centre will open sometime in September 2021. Masks will need to be worn, you will also need to book a time to attend. Numbers will be restricted due to Covid limitations at our centres. I have had to delay the start date due to an upgrade taking place which doesn't finish until the beginning of September. I will update this site when the system is up and running. ''

This Centre covers the South Hampshire/Chichester area including Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester and Chichester.
