Curious about your family history? Join Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust archivist Pauline Watson in this interactive genealogy taster.

Over two hours, Pauline will guide you through key starter resources, including online databases and original documents, as well as the tools to find them. She’ll also highlight key trouble points and how to navigate them, featuring true stories and adventures from her own genealogical journeys.

There will be a half-hour tea and coffee break in the middle of the session.
