Another chance to explore Ancestry.co.uk with us
- 16th May 2013
We are about the rerun our popular series of Ancestry website workshops. The workshops have enabled many people to start using this website and have allowed those already familiar with the site to really get the most out of it.
This website, an important resource for anyone looking to trace their family tree, is available free to access in The Hive, along with any other Worcestershire Library. Have you ever wondered what sources are available on Ancestry, which out of the thousands of sources are most useful; what does the information mean; why can’t you find someone who should be there, and how can you get the best out of using the website? Then these workshops may be just what you are looking for!
The workshops we have available are as follows:
