** This seminar is now fully booked, please email seminar-booking@guild-dev.org to check for any cancellations **

 

09:30am for 10:00am on Saturday 13th February 2016

We’ve once again booked this convenient venue, close to Peterborough and the A1.

We will be looking at the records of the 20th century that may be utilised in a one-name study: 20th Century Archives – Their Potential and Problems, school records, divorce and voters’ list are among the topics for which we have found specialist speakers and there will be a session on writing up your one-name study in a way that appeals to all.
