Click link for printable flyer

You’ve discovered the town of origin for an ancestor who came from England or Wales – now what? This beginner’s level presentation introduces the three primary genealogical resources for English and Welsh research: the decennial population census, civil registration of vital events, and Anglican parish registers.

As part of our 2019 "Around the World" theme, please consider bringing a snack relating to England or Wales - perhaps an old family recipe?  Tea will be served beginning at 9:30.
