Britain's What's On Event Guide
‘Family History From Education Records’
Education was provided in the UK initially by the Christian Church, then by private benefactors, public charities, and after that by the government. Schools for boys and girls, and later for adults, were established in many villages and towns. Higher education has been available at Universities since the 12th Century. The army and navy provided education for both military and associated civilian personnel and their families. Special schools for the disabled and particular employment sectors, and reformatories for wayward pupils, were opened in the 19th Century.
Dr Colin Chapman is a life Vice President of the Family History Federation and Vice President of the Society of Genealogists. In the 1970s, in connection with his work on the introduction of early computers into schools, he created the Chapman Codes. These are a consistent shorthand means for genealogists to identify different counties.
In this lecture Dr Chapman demonstrates how education records may be used to embellish and extend your family history.
