Trace your family history

Following the rising number of people wishing to trace their family's history, Warwickshire County Council continues its series of family history workshops to suit all levels of experience.

The latest course will be held on Saturday 27 March and looks at Family History Using Education Records.

This workshop, which takes place at the County Record Office, will look at the history of education and the wide range of education records on both pupils and teachers that can be of use to the family historian.  Local historians will also find this session of use.

“Family History Using Education Records” is being held on Saturday 27 March between 9.15 am and 12.15 pm at Warwickshire County Record Office, Priory Park, off Cape Road, Warwick.  Tickets cost £12.00 and booking is strongly recommended, by calling 01926 738959 Tuesday to Saturday. 

Rowan Fisher, Learning and Outreach Officer for Warwickshire County Record Office, said: “Family historians of all abilities are encouraged to attend this fascinating workshop and find out more about their ancestral heritage.”
