Talks

I am an experienced speaker and educator. I give talks on a range of topics:

Getting Started with Family History
Beyond the Basics in Family History Research – finding the stories
My Cousin Sophia – from Exeter to Edinburgh via India and the suspect family she married into!
Bigamist and Balloonist
Beyond India – using case studies to find sources for family in the Far East
Walter Brown, baker’s son from Rickmansworth who became a successful grocer in Tottenham
Finding Jacob, from the Netherland to Sumatra and back again – how I used DNA and traditional research to find where husband’s great grandfather came from
“Great Uncle Bill in India” an overview of British India records
“All Roads Lead to Tottenham” A 19th Century family’s migration across the UK, through Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Cornwall, Devon, Suffolk and Essex to Tottenham in North London. Using sources from main genealogy websites, local archives and inherited photos and documents, this case study follows a Grocer, Blacksmith, Shoemaker and Teacher on their journey to London and onwards to the USA.
