SUMMARY:London: “Home cine films for family historians.”
DESCRIPTION:“Home cine films for family historians.”\nA talk by Tim Emblem-English \nTim joined the television recording department at the BBC in 1981 and he became a specialist in archive film transfer. Most of us are familiar with photographs and the part they play in family history research but what about home movies?  Tim will start with their history in the 1920s/30s when small film formats allowed the man in the street and not just the well off to embrace this media.  He will look at the different formats of cine film and will briefly mention video formats.  He will touch on film archives in the UK and what part they might play in family history research. \nMeetings will be held at Wesley’s Chapel and Leysian Mission\, 49 City Road\, London\, EC1Y 1AU. \nDoors open 9:45 (coffee\, tea & biscuits\, we have some recyclable cups\, but if you can bring your own cup it would help).  The talk starts at 10.15. \nNon-members are very welcome. \nUnderground stations: Old Street (due to building works at Old Street\, please use subway 3) (Northern Line City Branch)\nMoorgate (Northern\, Circle and Metropolitan Lines). \nBuses: 21\, 43\, 55\, 76\, 141\, 205\, 214\, 243\, 271 \nRailway Stations: Old Street\, Moorgate\, Liverpool Street\, City ThamesLink\, Farringdon \n  \n

SUMMARY:On Line – Family History Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Family History Workshop by Members\nAn On Line Members Meeting where you can hear about other members research experiences. You can learn how they knocked down their brick walls\, what new websites they found\, how they got to grips with better known sites\, any obscure or lesser known websites\, archives offices or libraries\, or tackled computer problems. What Tips & Tricks they might have to help with research or help with software they might use. All the issues that family historians frequently come up against. In essence\, a Midland Ancestors Self Help Workshop. \nPlease get in touch by email eventsonline@mid-anc.uk  if you have a query or are stuck somewhere and we will raise it in the workshop. \n  \nThese meetings will be fairly loose format and will go where they lead. If you would like to make a contribution\, please get in touch. You do not need to be an experienced researcher. \nThe success of the format is entirely dependent upon the members. It is in your hands. Many people have asked if we will be running any Zoom meetings in the future\, now is your chance to help out. \n  \nOne of todays topics will be how to store our family history files. \nAn Online event using Zoom.
