The Family History Show

Discover Your Ancestors is holding The Family History Show – London at Kempton Racecourse on the 5th October 2024.

Watch presentations on various topics, put your research questions to an expert, speak to a local society, archive or genealogical supplier and chat with other genealogists.

Talks include:

Nick Barratt – The story of Greater London

This talk covers a range of sources for your ancestors’ occupations, as well as considerations you should make when researching.

Donna Rutherford – GEDmatch presentation for people using Ancestor Projects.
What is GEDmatch, what reports can you run, what are the results telling you and some general DNA help.
