Meeting Schedule
The Kamloops Family History Society is a non-profit group formed in 1982. All monies raised by the Society go towards promoting the stated aims and objectives of the Society. Kamloops is located at the junction of the North and South Thompson Rivers in the South Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada.
We are a friendly group of individuals who are researching their family histories. We’re also called genealogists. Our aims and objectives are:
In September 1982, Gill McIntyre advertised in local papers for people interested genealogy/family history to attend a meeting. Twenty people attended and an executive and board were voted in to run the group with Gill elected as President and Dr. Bob McGinn as Vice President. Doreen Lay was treasurer, Shyanne Doyle, recording secretary, Vicki Lyall, corresponding Secretary and Elenore Chamberland Project Coordinator.
