Featuring All New Talks
From Cradle to Grave – Jackie Depelle – Family History Tutor and Speaker
Jackie’s talk shows you how to follow the life of an ancestor, using key family history sources, plus more from maps to house history
Solving Genealogy Brickwalls: A Case Study – Amelia Bennett – Expert Researcher, Census Detective with the SOG
This talk uses an example from Amelia’s own family history where she progressed a brickwall using DNA alongside traditional genealogy research. The path to solving this brickwall had a number of surprises along the way with forgeries, quick marriages, criminal ancestors and often more questions than answers. In telling the story, methods and tools for using DNA to break down brickwalls are provided.
The Joy of Surnames – Debbie Kennett – DNA & Surname Expert and Writer
Each surname has its own story to tell. This lecture provides an overview of the history and distribution of surnames with a focus on surnames originating in the British Isles. The one-name study approach can provide breakthroughs that would not be possible by restricting research to your own family tree.
Family history and the media: behind the scenes of Who Do You Think You Are? – Nick Barratt – Historian, Author and Professional Genealogist
Exploring the impact of Who Do You Think You Are? on the way we research our family stories, with an explanation of how the show was first conceived and produced.
