Start (or restart) something new in 2019?
- 8th January 2019
Happy New Year!
We know this is a time when many people are looking at doing something new or picking up something they started but had to put on hold. Family and house history are amongst these things and each January we have people coming to The Hive asking us how to begin their search, or a refresher from when they began before. We have a number of workshops in February and March to help explain how to start your research, what is available here and where to look. Our workshops are based on many years helping people and from our own experiences working on our family or local history.
