Spotlight on the Aitchinson One-Name Study – Webinar available

Posted 7 May 2023 by Julie Goucher

Courtesy of Diana Aitchinson

The April 2023 webinar was from Diana Aitchison who shone the spotlight on her study. The photograph shown here is of Diana’s Great Grandparents and their children, and who were the catalyst for the study.

Summary of the webinar

Diana shared how she started the study, her methodology, graveyard research and a few interesting people she met along the way. Diana shared her different way of filing, making a decision whether to go ahead with a TNG site or not. This webinar is likely to be of interest to not just Guild members, but also those who are contemplating such a study.

About the Speaker

Diana started researching her own family tree in the 1980’s and in 2017 decided to undertake a one-name study to try to break down some brick walls.

The live event took place on 5 April 2023 at 7.30pm GMT

    Excellent presentation! The discussion of gravestone carvings was very informative and fascinating. Thank you for sharing the lives of your more notable name-bearers as well. Thank you too for the fresh perspective on data organization, spreadsheet uses and cemetery searches.
