Researching, recording and sharing your family genealogy and history (Spring term) (HIS 22)

  • Day and time: Wednesday 11:50 - 12:50
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 1 term. Spring (10 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 30
  • Start date: 18 January 2023
  • Description:

    I will share my personal journey and experience of exploring my family genealogy and history: researching using family books and trees, bibles, photos and reminiscences, public archives and local libraries, internet genealogy databases, census data and forums, web searches, DNA ancestry tests etc.; recording using PC and web based genealogy applications; sharing with family and interested parties through setting up a dedicated family history website, which has led to numerous interesting discoveries. Rather than just me lecturing I hope that some participants will be willing to share their own family history journeys and potentially lead a session, so that we all learn together, though no prior experience is required for the course, just a strong interest in discovering your past.
