Webinar Week Now Booking

We are delighted to announce that booking is now open for our week of webinars in July on the theme:

The Ones Who Got Away: 13th - 17th July 2026

We will be exploring this theme in a number of ways, whether it be how to track down those hard to research ancestors and family members, different approaches to methodology, using technology in different ways or demonstration by example through case studies.
