In 2015 it was recognised that computer training was needed to enable all members of the Kirkburton History Group to research the names on the soldiers’ memorial board using on-line programs such as Ancestry. Each of the 400 names are being researched in detail.
At the beginning of November 2015, nine members of the Group met at The Hub, Kirkburton each Wednesday afternoon for three weeks for training in how to use Ancestry, which is the most common on-line research site. The sessions were run by Mrs Lorraine Sykes from the Greenfield Centre in Dalton, Huddersfield who specialises in computers and family tree research.
