Tracing Your Ancestry in the Internet Age

Description

Join us, online, as we host an interesting, and very useful, talk by Joanne Larner.

Tracing Your Ancestry in the Internet Age

This talk will begin by explaining the more traditional ways of starting the exploration of your family tree and go on to investigate how the internet has both simplified and complicated the process of tracing your ancestry. It is now much easier and faster to create and expand your family tree by using online resources but there are also pitfalls which can trap the unwary. Joanne will go into these, both the positive and the negative aspects, and give examples which she has encountered while tracing her own family history.

Date: Friday 15th September 2023

Notes on the speaker:

Joanne was born in Islington, London, but now lives in Rayleigh Essex, with her husband, John, and two dogs, Jonah and Hunter. She is a Registered Osteopath but has an eclectic and extensive mixture of hobbies and other interests as well. She reads voraciously and when she becomes interested in a new subject, she goes into it as deeply as she possibly can and researches it thoroughly. Some have been part of her life for decades and others are newer. She became interested in Handwriting Analysis after her son gave her a book about it.
