SUMMARY:Birmingham: Herbert Mowle Kendal
DESCRIPTION:The curious case of Mr. Herbert Mowle Kendal\nA presentation by Paul Handford MBE. \nThis talk\, snowed off from last year\, is about a Mr Kendal\, a civilian volunteer ambulance driver who was killed in Action in May 1918 whilst driving his ambulance in support of the French Army. Paul discovered his  death was not recorded or indeed recognised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Thereby commenced a five year journey of research\, which included translating French War Diaries\, examining records contained at the International Red Cross (Geneva) and other research material. His findings  were submitted to the CWGC  for scrutiny and accepted. Mr. Kendal will now be the first ever civilian casualty to be commemorated on a CWGC War Memorial. \n  \nDo please note that this meeting is not on the usual Wednesday evening but a Saturday afternoon

SUMMARY:Birmingham: From Chisel to Cloud - The Kingsley Norris Lecture
DESCRIPTION:From Chisel to Cloud\, The Past and Future of Family History.\nA thought-provoking journey through thousands of years of development of family history record keeping and record preservation. Not all technology over the millennia has changed and\, surprisingly\, the future is not entirely digital. You’ll see your own family history research and documentation in a new light. \nA presentation by Sharon Hintze\, late Director of the London Family History Centre\, currently based at The National Archives at Kew. She is a frequent speaker and occasional writer on family history and a fifth generation family historian with Midlands ancestry. \n  \nIt was from a germ of an idea of Dr. Stuart Kingsley Norris\, retired surgeon at Birmingham Eye Hospital\, that BMSGH now Midland Ancestors\, was established in 1963. As its pioneering founder member\, after his untimely death in 1972\, this annual lecture was set up in his memory. The lecture is always by a society member. \n  \nDo please note that this meeting is not on the usual Wednesday evening but a Saturday afternoon

SUMMARY:Birmingham: The Victorians and the Christmas Season
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated talk looks at the influence of the Victorians on Christmas as we know it today. The Victorians repackaged older traditions and customs that suited their new sensibilities\, ideas and concerns. It is said the Victorians:‘mixed the ingredients of the English Christmas to create an extremely rich plum pudding’. Many of these changes took place early in Victoria’s reign\, including the arrival of the Christmas Card\, the Christmas Cracker and new-found popularity of the Christmas Tree. We will explore why and how the Victorians re-energised and transformed the festive season. \nSpeaker: Danny Wells

SUMMARY:Birmingham: The Riches of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:  \nFrom being Staffordshire husbandmen\, the Gilbert family worked its way up to producing two brothers\, nephews of an ancestress\, who were Thomas Gilbert (1720-98) and John Gilbert (1724-95)\,  prominent entrepreneurs of the early Industrial Revolution.   As well as with important parliamentary reform\, they were involved with pioneering mining and canal engineering on a large and widespread scale; and were friends and colleagues of  Matthew Boulton\, James Brindley\, and Josiah Wedgwood.   Which brings it all neatly back into the Birmingham area! \nMary will describe the process of the research\, going back to 1599\, well sprinkled with probate inventories\, wills and marriage bonds along the way. \nSpeaker: Mary Bodfish

SUMMARY:Birmingham: Organising and preserving your family history archive
DESCRIPTION:However you choose to store your family history items there are issues of best practice to be addressed. There has been a revolution in moving from hard copy to digital recording. The storage of digital records brings its own challenges if they are to be preserved in such a way as to provide long-term protection. Computer storage needs to be guarded from degradation\, corruption and data loss.   Physical preservation of documents\, photographs and artefacts also requires careful attention.  This evening will take the form of a question and discussion forum that will focus on members own experience.  We may not be able to provide all the answers but you will hopefully receive advice and pointers for your guidance. If you have particular questions or an experience to share please contact me with details (treasurer@bmsgh.org) as soon as possible. Offers of expertise will also be much appreciated.
