Staff will be stationed in a caravan outside WH Smith in High Town on Saturday 4 September between 10am and 4pm. They will answer family history queries, such as how to make a start on a family tree and how to find an elusive ancestor.
Senior archivist Rhys Griffith said: “The current Who Do You Think You Are? BBC series shows just how popular family history is. A lot of people would like to start investigating but don’t know where to begin. This will be a chance to find out what help is available and what sources to use. You don’t have to be a celebrity to have interesting ancestors.”
For those who are unable to visit the caravan on Saturday, people can contact Herefordshire Council’s archive service for advice on family history or with local history questions on 01432 260750 or email archives@herefordshire.gov.uk
