THOSE curious to learn about where they came from will have the opportunity to uncover their past thanks to a Reading community group.
The Centre for Heritage and Family History is hosting an advice clinic on Thursday, September 15, a one-to-one session with a seasoned advisor.
The team of volunteers will help visitors negotiate the often overwhelming amount of information and resources available online and in-person to answer any queries residents might have about their or their community’s heritage.
The group is run by Berkshire Family History Society, a registered charity, which works to meet the needs of those researching their ancestry across the UK and abroad.
It also assists individuals looking for former relatives in historic Berkshire.
The free to attend event takes place from 11am-2.15pm on the second floor of Reading Central Library.
Bookings must be made at least seven days in advance to give advisors enough time to research submissions.
The organisers recommend visitors to book at their earliest convenience, to allow their team to conduct as thorough a trawl through the archives as possible.
