SUMMARY:On Line Event - Madness\, Mania and Melancholia: The Mental Health of our Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Madness\, Mania and Melancholia: The Mental Health of our Ancestors\nPresenter Dr Janet Few\nThe history of mental ill-health is poorly understood and many of those who were labelled as ‘idiots’\, ‘imbeciles’ or ‘lunatics’ in the past would have a very different diagnosis today. This presentation looks at the history of reactions to and the treatment of those who we would now recognise as being mentally ill\, or as having a learning disability. It also investigates the institutions where sufferers might be held and the sources we can use to find out more about these\, often forgotten\, members of our family. \nJanet is an experienced and qualified family\, social and community historian who lectures regularly on these subjects throughout the UK and overseas. She has spoken at many national and international genealogical events and is also a well-known author and President of the Family History Federation \n  \nAn Online Event using Zoom. Visit this page to find out how we do it. \n  \nYou can Register now by using this link – Madness\, Mania and Melancholia \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Birmingham: In Memoriam - Records Of Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:New Date Due to Industrial Action on the railways\nIn Memoriam – Records Of Commemoration\nPresenter Doreen Hopwood\nAs family historians\, we follow our ancestors from the cradle to the grave and this presentation explores the many ways in which the memory of our ancestors has been kept alive.  It explains how to locate their final resting places and discusses the changes in funeral and mourning practices as well as the iconography of gravestones and memorial inscriptions.  It includes records generated by the Church\, State and organisations such as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and shows how Britons who died abroad may have been memorialised in this country. \nDoreen will be known to many West Midland members having been the genealogist for Birmingham City Council for over twenty years and a tutor in family\, community and social history at all levels. She takes a particular joy in her role for family history publications as a genealogical “agony aunt” answering reader’s questions and helping them to break down their brick walls. \n  \nThis will be a face to face meeting \, unfortunately it is not possible to have Zoom as part of it.\nNote this is the time of year when we change from Wednesdays to Saturdays \n

SUMMARY:Kenilworth: 'Family History and the Media: Behind the scenes at WDYTYA?'
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Nick Barratt \nNick’s website reads\, “I’ve been interested in history from a very early age. Although my training has taken me back to the thirteenth century – something I’m still actively researching after all these years – my professional career\, working on TV shows such as Who Do You Think You Are\, has allowed me to share the importance of history and heritage\, whether it’s national\, community or personal\, with a wide audience\, and hopefully show people that an understanding of the past is even more important than ever for the future of our own lives and society.” \n— \nThis is an online event via Zoom. \nRegistration is now OPEN \nYou can register by using this link: Dr Nick Barratt: Family History & the Media – Behind the Scenes at Who Do You Think You Are? \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
