WFHG has established a private group on Google Groups for financial members to subscribe to. It can only be viewed by subscribed members. It seeks to provide a forum for members to share information and assist each other. If you have a question for which you don't know the answer, maybe a member will know and advise you; that's what is hoped for. Question categories are genealogy, family history, computer use and WFHG activities. To subscribe you will need to have a Google Account in the name of your email address. The group is free and it is strongly recommended you join and participate.
See what the Group Home Page looks like.
To start the subscription process, email your name, member number and email address to the Group Moderator.
(NB : Under some circumstances, the pre-written message will appear unusual as it will contain '<br />' a couple of times. Ignore this and enter your name, member number and email address anyway and send).
