The third lecture in Manx National Heritage's Winter Programme will shed light on researching your family history.
The lecture, titled Genealogical Research, is a collaboration between MNH and the Isle of Man Family History Society.
It will be delivered by Dr. Colin Chapman, a life Vice-President of the Federation of Family History Societies, who has founded several British county genealogical societies and lectured extensively on British and Irish Genealogy.
Today, more and more individuals and families are becoming interested not only in discovering their roots, but also finding out how their ancestors lived.
In this lecture, Dr Chapman will explain how to uncover and record fascinating information about people's forebears.
He will describe how to source information from different records - of birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial; of schools attended; club memberships; court appearances; life achievements; and many other types of record available on the Isle of Man and further afield.
The lecture will be followed by an update into the progress of the many digitisation programmes which are running this year within Manx National Heritage, presented by Paul Weatherall, Library & Archive Services Officer.
The free lecture takes place on Saturday 21st November at 2pm in the Manx Museum lecture theatre.
