Introduction
| The Society was
founded in 1996 following many years of correspondence between people
reserching the surname. The majority of our early ancestors could not
read or write, therefore it was left to the cleric to spell the surname,
hence the many variations from SERMAN(s) through to SURMON. |
||
| . | ||
| Our newsletter,
entitled The Pulpit, is published twice a year; we welcome articles,
snippets, photos, etc. for inclusion. The A.G.M.s are held in various
locations in the UK and the afternoon is usually spent touring a village
with 'family connections. |
||
| . | ||
| We have held four
Family Gatherings. The first was in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire in 1996,
where the Society was founded. The second in Worcestershire in 2000 to
commemorate the Millennium, another in 2005 in Witney, Oxfordshire,
where the focus was on our DNA Project, and in 2008 in Grass Valley,
Fremantle, Western Australia. If sufficient interest is shown, we hope
to hold another Gathering around July, 2010 in Chipping Campden,
Gloucestershire. |
||
| . | ||
| We do not hold
regular meetings as our Members are widespread but we interact with one
another by phone, e-mail or letter. |

Research is carried out free of charge to paid up Members of the Society
with a small charge to cover cost of printing and postage, however,
there is a fee to non-members to cover research time plus expenses.
