Britain's What's On Event Guide
Mid Norfolk Family History Society - Immigration and Emigration - Comings and goings in history.
Heritage Open Day: This year, we are looking at how people travelled around in the past. Contrary to popular belief, our ancestors often went looking for work and opportunities to better themselves. Just how far some Dereham folk went will surprise you! People moved around the globe in the past, but not all of them left Dereham for far away places, some came to the Dereham area from afar too. In 1851 there were people born in America, Jamaica and Australia living in this part of Norfolk and, by 1881 there were people who were born in Quebec, Bombay and Adelaide.
Family history can be a great way to learn about far flung places as well as villages just up the road.
