Guild Webinar – Behind the scenes of a One-Name Gathering: How, What & Why

The webinar for July is from Karen Rogers of the Liddiard Society & One-Name Study. Here is what Karen says:

“At a presentation given to the Aldbourne Heritage Centre Group about the Liddiard’s in 2013, I made a throw away remark “its about time we got some Liddiard’s back in this village” Rumours then spread then a Liddiard family reunion was going to happen.

In 2016 the first Liddiard gathering event was held, in which over 200 attended, not an easy feat from Australia. You can read an article from BBC Wiltshire HERE
