Family History Workshops

During November and early December we will be running a series of evening talks/tutorials on different aspects of family history research. The sessions we are finalising at the moment will cover dating, using and preserving historic photographs, using trade directories, Census records and old newspaper archives. We will be confirming dates for these sessions in the coming weeks, but they will be on Thursday evenings 7-9pm in the Bradshaw Meeting Room. Each evening will cost £3.50 (we would like you to book in advance) and will consist of an hour long tutorial and one hour of questions and personal experiences/examples from those attending the meetings. We want you to come along and share your knowledge of what works/doesn't work and the pitfalls that have caught you out are.

Thursday November 3rd –  Dating and preserving old photographs  (run by Nigel Sadler)

Thursday November 17th – Using old Trade Directories (run by Nigel Sadler) please note this is a change from the previously advertised date of 10th November.

One of the greatest assets to family historians are the family photographs. However, many have no information on them. This workshop will show you some of the tricks in dating an image and also how you can preserve your photographs for future generations
