Genealogy detective Liz Irving appearing at New Lanark
Genealogy detective Liz Irving will be appearing at New Lanark World Heritage Site and will give a talk on the fascinating topic of how to research your family history.
Liz said: “Researching your family history is an absorbing and fascinating activity, but really getting to know your ancestors involves more than simply finding out their names and the dates and places of their birth, marriage and death. “Being a genealogy detective means following clues, searching for evidence and building up a picture of our forebears and their lives.”
