You will get far better attention if you join the society and notify the local branch in advance of your attendance. Not only will the local sec be able to find if any other member is interested in your family, but maybe put someone on standby to deal with you. In addition, if you are in Acc on a Saturday or a Thursday, you may be able to attend - as a member only - the research room in Oswaldtwistle which the society opens on those days - see the website for which Saturday it is. There you will get one-to-one tutoring. I think that you will find that the cost of membership for a year will be repaid after one session. In addition, the society has a Yahoo forum, the members of which will bend over backwards to help you.
