$Richmond Heritage Event \u2013 Joys and Pitfalls of Family History$

Come join us for an exciting event at The Green Howards Museum where we will delve into the joys and pitfalls of exploring your family history.
The quirks and pitfalls of Great War family history research. Anonymised to protect the innocent! Find out about how seemingly harmless family history enquiries have led to questions about parentage and dubious medical conditions!
Learn to appreciate the miracles expected of researchers on the basis of minimal evidence (my grandfather was short and missing a finger – in one case the only information offered!) and the bizarre, humbling and truly awe-inspiring stories that such research revealed.
