30-Jul | 8 | 10:00 - 11:00 | A1 | Bringing Life to Family History | David Boon |
These sessions will explore how to move beyond the basic details in birth, marriage and death records to learn more about the lives of ancestors. Learn how records relating to schools, hospitals, cemeteries,the military, courts, police, welfare and land can reveal details of individual lives and how local histories and newspapers can provide further context. Find out how DNA testing can reveal hidden stories, confirm family folklore and reveal deep ancestry. Each session will draw on examples from my own research and provide details of how participants can access resources to undertake their own research.
