The Name of the Game Seminar

Bearley Village Hall, Snitterfield Road, Bearley, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire CV37 0SR

09:30am for 10:00am on Saturday 11th February 2017

Time for another seminar to attract those thinking about starting a one-name study and to inspire others to progress with their studies.  As well as looking at the support and resources provided by the Guild through its website, this seminar will consider the use of official records and social media for one-name studies.  There will be advice on managing a surname project and the day will conclude with highlights from different aspects of an established study.
