On Saturday 22nd June 2024 I will be contributing a two-hour session to the Society of Genealogists' Family History Skills Course Stage 2, the final session in a twelve-week tutorial programme that will also see sessions from Else Churchill, Alec Tritton, Janet Few, Debbie Kennett, Simon Fowler, and Dave Annal.
The full programme starts on April 6th, with each two-hour session given over Zoom from 10.30am-12.30pm. Bookings are open until 19 April 2024. My particular session will specifically look at Scottish and Irish records (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland), with an hour devoted to each.
