BACK TO 1837 – BUT WHERE DO YOU GO THEN?

A one-day course designed to help people to research their family tree before 1837 will be held on Saturday 9 October 2010 at the Birmingham & Midland Institute, Margaret Street, Birmingham.

The course, co-ordinated by Birmingham & Midland Society for Genealogy and Heraldry (BMSGH) ,will cover Parish Registers and Bishop’s Transcripts; indexes; poor law records; early Wills and Inventories. Most of these records prior to civil registration in 1837 are held at local record offices and libraries and are not available on the internet.

The course starts at 10.00am and finishes at 4pm. The cost is £5 for non-members of the Society. The Society’s bookshop will also be available on the day.

For further details, please contact Jackie Cotterill on 01562 743912, email: gensec@bmsgh.org or visit the BMSGH website on http://www.bmsgh.org/
