Join us for a presentation by esteemed genealogist John Titford as he reflects on researching our migratory ancestors – those who moved to new lands, and, particularly, on those who ‘bounced back’
Research strategies and stories for tracing ancestors on an international basis
Genealogist John Titford has extensive experience tracing ancestors beyond British shores. Even if our families largely remained living in the British Isles most of us will encounter family ties across the globe – ancillary branches, our ancestors’ siblings who set forth for new lives overseas.
In his webinar John Titford will concentrate on those of our family members who embarked on a journey, perhaps living and working for many years or even decades in another country, but who at some point or other, sooner or later, returned to Britain.
Being alert to the whereabouts of our ancestors, and the reason they may seem to ‘disappear’ from a record collection, is essential in order for us to trace their lives fully. John Titford’s informative, entertaining presentation will give you research ideas and inspiration to trace your own ancestors who were on the move.

The webinar will take place on Zoom on Thursday 20th March, 6.30pm UK time with John Titford.
