Are you researching ancestors from the North East of England?
In conjunction with Northumberland & Durham Family History Society, we are proud to host a panel of experts to present “Researching in the North East”. We will learn about family history resources for the counties of Durham, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear with experts from:
• Northumberland & Durham Family History Society
• Durham Archives
• Northumberland Archives
• Tyne & Wear Archives part of North East Museums
• Victoria County History
• Historic Towns Trust
• Vision of Britain
• Society of Genealogists
We aim for everyone to leave the talk with at least one new source to find out about the lives of their North Eastern ancestors.
