Family History: Tracing your Ancestors in Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire – do you picture the University, or the fens, or the RAF/USAAF airbases of World War 2? There is a rich collection of family history records for Cambridgeshire. Robert Parker covers the records held online and then describes those held in our libraries, the Cambridgeshire Family History Society and the Cambridgeshire Archives. Robert explores these records in the context of the social and local history of the County.

About the Society of Genealogists, the National Family History Centre: Founded in 1911, the Society of Genealogists (SoG) has amassed a truly magnificent library and archive. It contains Britain’s largest collection of parish register copies and many nonconformist registers. Join us in our Common Room where, after this workshop, you are welcome to bring your lunch, sit and relax and meet other people with similar interests to your own.
