Note:
This is a summary of the services available. Please remember that many HGS Index-holders also work in paid employment and do not have time for lengthy correspondence. Please keep any enquiries to a minimum. Please remember always to include a Stamped and Self-Addressed Envelope with each request. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Hampshire Genealogical Society’.  Many members prefer to send open blank cheques for us to fill in the figures, whilst writing the words e.g. “maximum amount £5.00” in the amount section. In all cases the current Members' Handbook gives full details of each service – a replacement handbook can always be obtained from the Membership Secretary (send 3 x 1st class stamps + A5 sized SSAE).
