This week’s post is a quick run-through of some upcoming online events (one on Tuesday 11 March) and a free genealogy software program for you to try. The presentations take us around the world from England and Wales to Canada and back to Scotland and Ireland.
A
free online
talk
from
the Society of Genealogists will
cover
the
England
&
Wales
Pre-1841
Census Returns.
Was the 1841 census the first useful one, or
can surviving pre-1841 fragments and
substitutes reveal more? Else
Churchill
will explore
early census records, including
some
that
are held in the Society’s London-based collections.
If
you book in advance, a recording of the presentation will be
available for one month.
