Britain's What's On Event Guide
An ancestral Christmas - Liz Yule
Liz Yule, Director of Research at The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies, takes a light-hearted look at Christmases past, and how the festive season can help with family history research. Why was Christmas day so popular for marriages? What surnames have links to the festive period? Why were Christmases past so much colder than today? And much more.
The talk takes place in person and, for members only, on Zoom, at the Fromus Centre, Street Farm Road, Saxmundham, IP17 1AL (behind the Library).
