I have been asked to give the following a plug by the Guild of One-Name Studies (https://one-name.org) - no probs!
DISCOVER DETAILS OF YOUR ANCESTORS AS THEY MOVED ACROSS THE WORLD
News from Home: finding the diaspora in newspapers
Keeping in touch with family and friends if you moved to a foreign posting or emigrated was not at the touch of a button as it is now, so our ancestors used the newspapers to let people know what was happening in their lives. They used the births, marriages and deaths notices, and their movements abroad can be traced through shipping lists and announcements of promotions in both the army and civil service. Newspapers can also reveal what made them leave home and how they adapted to life in a new land.
Join Aoife O'Connor from Findmypast as she explores what you can find out about your ancestors who worked abroad or emigrated to a new land.
The second seminar in our 'Ancestors in Print' series takes place at 8pm (UK time) on Wednesday 3 February. Register now to watch the free seminar or the recording, which will be available to non-members for a couple of weeks. Click on this link to register:
