How to contact a member who submitted a Birth Brief

Contacting a member of the Berkshire FHS

If you have an interest in a name on a Birth Brief you can contact the person who submitted it provided that they are still a member. You can contact them by post and, in many cases, by email.

Even if the submitter is no longer a member we will be able to provide you with a computer printout of the birth brief.

Note:The Birth Brief Id (BBId) normally corresponds to the membership number, with an additional letter suffix if more than one birth brief has been submitted for what is, or once was, a family membership.

Contact via email
