Polperro Family History Society The Polperro Family History Society celebrated its ninth birthday
this year with another weekend annual gathering of Polperro family historians,
cousins and local residents at the Ebenezer Gallery, Polperro, in
April 2010. The Society now has over 250 members and has developed a number of projects researching the Polperro families that once lived there. Anyone with Polperro ancestors is particularly welcome to apply for membership and share the benefits of our research and also receive copies of the Society's Journal published twice a year. This year's event was a great success and we look forward to our tenth anniversary gathering in 2011. The AGM for PFHS members was followed by a visit to Lansallos church. A number of individual Polperro family displays were on view including one on the history of the Warren in Polperro by Martin Hipperson, the Society's Projects Officer who has also produced the Polperro Fishermen's Portraits CD. Members of the Society now have special access to the exclusive Members'
Area on this website which include a Message Board for exchanging information
and contact details for other members. In addition, the Society publishes
a Journal for members twice a year and other booklets relating to Polperro families. Annual membership was set at £10 for individuals, £15 for families (2 adults); £12 and £17 respectively for overseas members. Further information can be obtained from Judith Puckey at the Polperro Heritage Museum. Click here for Membership
