The Class
The class consists of a great group of friendly individuals from different backgrounds and postcodes, but all share the same interest and passion for Genealogy and Family History. We meet up on Friday mornings, at the Pennypit Centre, Prestonpans. Each week the tutor (Bob) updates us on any interesting articles, events or lectures that may have taking place in the world of Genealogy. We have scheduled discussions on various interesting Family History topics. The tutor advises us of the history and time-frame of the subject. We learn where the archives for the certain subject should be held,then talk through some example handouts, The hand-outs show us what the document may look like and how much useful information you can retrieve. Each term we have class visits to some of the most fantastic and interesting venues in genealogy and history. |

I am a mature student at Edinburgh College.Studying web design, photography and 3d environments. I am also a very keen Genealogist and Historian and have been researching my family roots for a few years now.I have accumulated a large amount of names on my tree from both my maternal and paternal lines. Joining this class was a way for me to move on from Genealogy and learn more on Family History..I have enjoyed this class and am starting to put bones on my skeletons and dig deeper in to the life styles and heritage of my ancestors Ang McInnes |
