Welcome to GENEVA

An online calendar of GENealogical EVents and Activities

This calendar is being run jointly on behalf of GENUKI and the Federation of Family History Societies. Event organisers are encouraged to check this calendar when picking a date to avoid clashes with other events in the same area. They are also encouraged to submit an entry for this calendar as soon as a date has been booked so that other organisers know about it and can try to avoid it.
Please note that this calendar depends on your Family History Society submitting its events as well as you reading it. If your society's events are not listed, please complain to them rather than to me. If the calendar does not link to any further details, please don't ask me for further information - because I don't have any.
At the end of this page you'll find some other groups' event lists and how to submit events to GENEVA.

The venue area codes are (mostly) the usual Chapman County Codes extended to the rest of the world as per the GRD usage. Where it seems more helpful, London postcode prefixes and other variants may be used.
