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.
