An anecdotal tale of what to look for and the pitfalls to avoid when researching your family. How our ancestors can unknowingly be annoying as they put obstacles in our way.

All talks, anywhere via Zoom. I’m based near Derby but happy to travel across the East Midlands. I have been conducting genealogical/family history research for over 37 years. During that time, several talks developed from my research: Derby County Asylum; Annoying Ancestors; Australian Gold Rush; and The Last English Peer hanged for murder. Full list below.
Alongside the talks, I also offer quizzes using vintage household items. They are not the usual question-based quiz, but participants actually get to handle the vintage items whilst trying to determine what they are. This usually ensures that there is plenty of chatter and reminiscing.
NOTE: Zoom talks are £50.
