A GROUP has been formed to promote the study of County Durham's history.
The Friends of the Durham County Record Office was set up by enthusiasts who delve into the archives at County Hall.
Secretary Andrew Fletcher said: "We have members as far spread as Australia and are producing three newsletters in the first year. Included in the newsletters are articles on what projects the record office is involved in, new acquisitions, forthcoming events, interesting finds in parish registers and new lists of indices produced by volunteers to assist family researchers."
For information about the group, send a stamped, addressed envelope to: A Fletcher, 20 Fenton Terrace, Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear, DH4 7AZ
