Dorset Family History Society’s Online Zoom Monthly Meeting
« on: Monday 02 January 23 19:53 GMT (UK) »
Dorset Family History Society is hosting an on-line Zoom talk on Tuesday 17th January 2023 from 7.30p.m. - 9.15p.m. (approx.)

ON-LINE SPEAKER is IAN WALLER with a talk entitled ‘RAILWAY ANCESTORS’.

Ian talks through Railway records and what we can discover from them. Railway companies were one of the largest employers and many left a  legacy of staff records. The talk examines how those records help  piece together the career of a railway worker using a variety of  records up to nationalisation in 1948.

Ian Waller is a retired genealogist with over 30 years experience in  English research and now an author and speaker. He is a Fellow of SoG  and AGRA and has taught Family History at both basic and advanced  levels in various centres around Bedfordshire and Herefordshire.

Zoom sign-in from 7.15 pm (UK time).

Society Members who have consented to receive information by e-mail will find a meeting invitation link, and how to donate the voluntary £3 admission, in the E-News sent about 4 days before the meeting.
