Family history and the Motorist, Colin McInnes

A talk on ways to find where your family came from, and ways you retrace their journey.

Family history can be all paper work, or it can involve putting life back into your ancestors, travelling to the old homes and haunts of one's family, walking in their shoes, and understanding their reasons for change. This talk will show ideas on planning your own journey into the past, as well as some of the pitfalls to avoid.

Colin McInnes works part time with Salford University and the WEA to bring Family history to the public sector. He gives talks on various aspects of Family History. And as a member of Manchester and Lancashire Family history society, he gives advice at various events. His interest in family History research began 10 years ago with a postal request from a "lost" family member.

This will be a chance to see the countryside by exploring lanes and fields not often seen from the car. Around 5 miles, no rushing about and a good laugh to boot.
