PRONI's Getting Started Workshop - Using Online Resources on Wed 11th November

The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni) is hosting a Getting Started Workshop this Wednesday 11th November from 12.30-13.30, which will look at its online offerings. Here's the blurb:

Getting Started Workshop - Using Online Resources

Join us on zoom for a workshop that will show you how to get started doing research online.

Whether you are trying to do your own family tree online, researching for study or planning to visit PRONI when we re-open and want to know how to find your references in advance - this workshop will have something for you!

It will detail how to use PRONI's own online applications such as our e-catalogue and also show you how to use other online sources such as Griffith's valuation and census records.

You will have a chance to see our staff members and ask them your burning questions directly!

A zoom link will be issued to the e-mail address you register with one hour in advance of the workshop.

We look forward to (virtually) seeing you!
