January 11 @ 8:00 pm - 9:15 pm
Researching your Ancestors before Civil Registration by Linda Hammond.
So, you’ve been happily working your way back through census records and tracing your ancestors through civil registration, ordering some certificates on the way. Then you hit the 1841 census and where do you go from there! Linda will look at the types of records available to you to extend your research prior to 1837. You may have thought of Parish Registers but what is in them, where do you find them and how can you access them? Looking at other records available to you and through an analysis of actual record samples, Linda will follow a family from 1851 back through to the 1700s. You’ll discover that it’s not as difficult as you thought it was!
