Hi Marion
The purpose of the 101genealogy website is to help you find sources of information. If you want to ask a question of the Dorset Family History Society, you’ll need to visit their website (there’s a link to it at the foot of my posting - where it says, “For more information see:”) and ask them direct.
Hope this helps.
