20th Century Sources England and Wales with Janet Few

1 March 2023

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Guild contact: Julie Goucher

For the Guild’s webinar in March 2023 we welcome Janet Few. We often neglect the twentieth century as being ‘not really history’ but there is plenty of one-name research that can be done. Twentieth century research brings with it the difficulties of larger and more mobile populations as well as records that are closed to view, so here are some sources that can help you to bring those more recent one-name study members to life.

Attendees will learn about some of the sources that will help with 20th century one-name research, and this likely to be of interest to all family historians.

About the speaker

Janet is a long-standing Guild member, who has been working on the Braund one-name study for over forty years. She is a well-known speaker and the President of  the Family History Federation.

This webinar is available FREE (registration is required), to members of the public, Guild members and members of the genealogical and local history community, so why not share the information and join us on:

1 March 2023 at 7.30pm GMT 

The recording was available to members only for a two week period, ending on 19 March 2023, this is due to copyright requirements.
