Beyond Birth, Marriage and Death – Going Further with Family History
Description
Once you move beyond the key sources, such as Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates and the Census, you come to look at the wonderful and varied documents which put flesh on the bones and help bring the history of your family to life.
This day course will look at some of these many and varied sources, including Wills and Probate, Military Records, Poor Law and Workhouse records, newspapers and more. We will also look at the core providers of online records and where to find those “offline” records using online tools.
There will also be time to discuss some brick wall solving techniques, although unfortunately there are no guarantees we will knock them down, we will chip away at the foundations.
