AN inspiring evening of research was enjoyed by members of the Ribble Valley Branch of the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society. ■
’
A workshop was held by Mr Peter Joslin, who is noted for his computer work in fam ily history research. With a powerpoint presentation, he
showed.how he had researched the family of Eric Morcambe, using the internet sites available.
After finding certification of birth, marriage and deaths, he then used the census infor mation, monumental inscriptions, directo ries and newspapers to fill in the detail he
, required. ' Spreadsheets of this information were set up and then used to compile the family tree. Nearly all the internet sites he used were free and some had been set up from work done by members of the society.
Mr Joslin was thanked for an inspiring evening. ■ . .•
