Join us for the January Family Tree Brickwalls, Skills & Solutions Club webinar, at which Dr Sophie Kay will be tutoring us in the knowledge and skills needs to best use mapping for family history
Maps aren’t just beautiful, they’re also really useful – and they offer a wealth of superb problem-solving routes for family historians!
In this talk, Sophie will introduce you to three of her mapping methods (Ancestral Walks, Concentric Surveys and the Outlier Method) to help you in: tracking down elusive forebears; identifying key archival records, and enriching your knowledge of ancestral locations.
Join us for some cartographic delights from the Ordnance Survey, and a chance to turbo-charge your family history in search of those hard-to-find ancestors…
