Find My Past - Family History Afternoon
Overview
The Mormons (or to be correct, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) are the undisputed experts when it comes to tracing our ancestors. At our recent "Behind the Scenes" at the church, a lot of people expressed interest in knowing more about this area of their work and the billions (yes, literally) of records that they hold. So we have persuaded Keri to put on a very special afternoon for us. There are vast resources as the church runs the website www.familysearch.org and shares information in partnership with www.ancestry.co.uk
This afternoon we have an opportunity for you to bring some family history information with you and to let the volunteers help you to find your ancestors. We have a variety of resources including FamilySearch, Ancestry and Find My Past.
Cost: This is a free event, but donations are welcomed on a voluntary basis, (not money, but maybe cakes and biscuits to enjoy)
You must be pre booked in order to attend.
