SUMMARY:Kenilworth: 'Family Networks in Elizabethan England' - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Cathryn Enis\, Honorary Research Fellow at the College of Arts and Law\, University of Birmingham \nCathryn writes\, “I tend to specialise in family networks so I could focus on Kenilworth families if you like and perhaps share some of the sources I use. I also like to bring women to the fore and show how they were central to creating these family networks (as with the Dugdale paper) so I can emphasise that and we could make that the focus of the Q&A.”

SUMMARY:Birmingham: Spread the Net Wider and Dig Deeper - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Spread the Net Wider and Dig Deeper.\nSpeaker: Ann Simcock\nWhen we first begin to research our families often the aim is to try and get as far back as possible adding names and dates with a hope to find a link to someone famous. However\, our ancestors were living breathing human beings with fascinating stories\, both happy and sad. By using basic records and extracting every fact and hint and extending our research  to include people and places involved with our ancestors\, their stories can be discovered and a better understanding of our past revealed.
