Genealogy courses

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.
