We have a bit of a special meeting coming up in the new year so I thought I would advertise it early!

The much anticipated 1921 census is coming soon and so is a weekday meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme.
You really need to be at this meeting to enhance your research ...

• Speaker: Paul Nixon of Findmypast
• Description: The 1921 Census of England and Wales is here. Join Findmypast for an unmissable exploration of the biggest new arrival in family history. Years have been spent digitising and transcribing this unique snapshot of our recent history – discover the stories and secrets contained within. Along with the historical context, tips for effective searching and using it to trace elusive relatives, we'll learn how the 1921 Census will help you understand your ancestors’ lives better. And your own.
