Following on from the 2016 “Creating and Developing Your Website” we return once again to this popular venue near Leicester which allows us to run three parallel streams, Options for a Web Presence, Establishing Your Web Presence and Enhancing Your Web Presence.  The seminar will cover different options for getting your first web presence, Guild profiles, different types of websites, TNG (The Next Generation), WordPress, and the Members Website Project.

What delegates said about the most recent Cheltenham seminar on 30th July 2022:

Primary motivation for attending? Local seminar; to meet other members; interaction with other Guild members To see people and social interaction after Covid Trying to bring back my enthusiasm Adding social context to both my family and ONS research Very interested in the topic Subject and location Finding out more about researching and improved recording of women in an ONS; learn more about sources Some specific questions (which were answered by speakers) and general context General family history research; further and wider knowledge Curiosity Seminars are always good value What aspects of this seminar went particularly well? Variety and quality of speakers who were all excellent Talk content; range of subjects and speakers Interesting and entertaining speakers Length of sessions; ran to time; timings Enjoyed the vignettes at the end Friendly and accessible; good location Thanks for dealing with absence of various participants really well What did you learn? Importance of all women Some resources I hadn’t thought of; encouragement to explore additional resources More sources for information on women; new sources to explore Recommendation to pursue ‘other’ lives further Legal background to women Search techniques when looking for ‘missing’ family Need to integrate the social as well as the ‘dates’; social background of occupations; what was going on in society at the time? Alternative way of thinking about data; thinking more critically about info; thinking outside the box A lot!
