Genealogy Classes

My genealogy workshops for people already tracing the Caribbean ancestors went very well. Sometimes as we're tracing family we get stuck and unable to move further back in history, or we cannot find the evidence we need to bring together the jigsaw puzzle that is family history. A little nudge in the right direction can produce amazing results. For example, knowing where to look on the www.familysearch.org website can be an eye-opener. Good luck to all those people who attended.

I'm looking forward to running monthly workshops, or drop-in sessions, for members of the Caribbean Family History Society. Join today! Membership is only £25 per annum! (Or £2.08 per month). Contact me for more information on caribbeanroots@btinternet.com

Stay blessed
