Researching the history of your House

Researching the history of your House
Researching the history of your house can reveal your building’s unique past, including information on when it was built, by whom, and who owned the land beforehand. In many instances research can uncover the original architectural drawings, together with a number of old pictures or illustrations taken throughout the years.
Research can reveal who lived in your property and when, what they did for a living, and can sometimes reveal very personal stories about the occupants and how they lived their lives.
The next course starts May 2010

DNA and Genetic Genealogy

Researching the history of your House
DNA testing for family history purposes is an exciting technology that has grown significantly in recent years. However, the scientific and technological complexities involved in understanding the subject can make it difficult for the family historian to interpret the results, and use them effectively to find out more about their ancestors.
This 5 week course aims to help you develop your understanding of how to interpret genealogical DNA test results, and explores what other tools you can use to expand your research further.
The next course starts April 2021.
