Family History

Unravelling the Mystery

Is The Old Workhouse a suitable place to look for your ancestors? Come and join us to discover the family history sources with tutor Jackie Depelle.

Perhaps you have always fancied trying to trace your ancestors;  have already made a start and wonder what else might be found; or are just hooked on our addictive hobby.  Our special day will have something for everyone from the basic methods of “how to”, sources in Libraries and on the Internet, to more unusual places to visit.

Our programme will include:

Registration

How the story started

Certificates and Census

Parish Records & Church History

Wills, Deeds and Newspapers

The National Archives

Internet websites

The afternoon case study will feature a Pateley Bridge family

Plus the opportunity to hear about the Family History resources

in the Nidderdale Museum.

Fees for the Day School are £16.00.

This includes tea/coffee/soft drinks during the day.

Please provide your own packed lunch.

Places must be reserved in advance
