Are you having problems finding those pre-1800s ancestors?

Where can you go from here? What other sources can be used?

We will meet bimonthly via Zoom, 1.30-3pm , on the first Friday of the month.

In September we will focus on a time that often presents difficulties for family historians, the English Civil War and Commonwealth period (1640s and 1650s), when there was great country-wide disruption and social change. We will discuss:

• Finding your ancestors who served in the Parliamentary and Royalist armies;
• How the war and aftermath impacted birth/baptism, marriage and death /burial records; and
• Women in the Civil War period.

This circle will cover all English counties and will introduce you to a range of less well-known record sources. All members are welcome.
