Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
[UPDATED] Tracing Family History Meet Up
Davo Ravo and I had a good first meet up to talk about getting started on tracing family history. David shared lots of good tips on where to go for information and how to map out what you discover.
We agreed that it would be good to meet up every so often to share what we've been doing and get further guidance. We also thought it would be great if more people wanted to join us. So let us know below if you'd be up for a meet up and we'll try and set a time and a place that would suit.
UPDATE 27th Feb: Anyone interested in a March Meet up, let us know, see below in comments for details.

I'd love to do this, though I travel a lot for work, so can't be very reliable...

My wife is very much into this and has spent a great deal of time over the last ten years on it.
If a date can be set we would love to come along.

Hello everyone, sorry that this has taken so long to get organised. We would like to meet up on Monday 15th at the Garden Ladder from 8.15 as they have wi-fi, curry and big tables. Be great if you can make it.

Hello all
David and I have been chatting backstage about getting another Family History Meet up going. The last one was a great getting to know you start and David would like to follow that up with a workshop style meet where we talk specifics i.e. your goals in tracing your family history and 2-3 people you would like to find out more about.
Let us know on this thread if you would be interested in something like this.
In the meantime,
The National Archives have podcasts on tracing family history
Try this : http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/family-history-intro.mp3
Other podcasts are available here on more specific elements of tracing family history such as using the census, birth, marriage, death certificates, war records. (Plus loads of other history stuff).
They mainly take the form of talks but some are proper podcasts with presenters, there's even an entertaining one by Terry Jones on rehabilitating Richard the Second.
If you know of other free online resources about family history be great if you can share the links too.

Well, we didn't get this going sadly as no one got back to us on it but if anyone is interested there is a free workshop at Wood Green Library to learn how to use Ancestry.com Library edition - you'll need a library card I think. Details here
