About Jayne Hantman

Jayne Hantman is the daughter of a ‘Kinder’. She first became interested in genealogy over 50 years ago, when as a child she was inspired by a bound copy of her family tree on her maternal grandfather’s side. Dating back to 1745, the Feilchenfeld family tree was collated in 1947 by a relative called Walter Fales; a Quaker. Jayne has always worked in finance and the charity sector and did a business management degree as a mature student.

After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A on the talk.
