Many people are put off by the cost of using family history subscription sites and paying for expensive certificates. This talk covers alternative ways of accessing records, both from the UK and overseas. I aim to advise on how to access free sites that you may not already know about and those that charge a modest fee. The talk will also cover the use of software. The advantages of collaboration with other researchers will be highlighted, with examples and illustrations. There will be time for some Q & A at the end of the talk.

About David Eniffer

I have been heavily involved in researching family history for over 42 years and delivering talks for the last 20 years. I am also an ex-chairman of the Essex Society for Family History and I have spoken about family history on BBC Essex. My talks are about an hour long and include Family History for Beginners and other individual talks on different aspects of research.

All my talks are illustrated with Powerpoint. I have my own data projector, laptop and sound equipment although I am happy to use the equipment at the venue if that is easier. The only thing that you need to provide is a screen or a suitable pale wall space at your venue. I can deliver talks in the daytime or evenings and may be able to attend with short notice subject to my availability. I can also carry out zoom talks when hosted by the booking organisation.

Yes, I am passionate about family history and genealogy but please be aware, humour is often, intentionally, or unintentionally, found in my talks. I aim for a relaxed atmosphere.
