The Cambridgeshire Family History Society’s Family and Local History Fair returns on Saturday 22nd October 2016.
Once again, the Glebe Primary School in Girton, on the North West of Cambridge, plays host to this genealogy feast day with doors opening 10am until 4pm, and as usual it’s free admission and free parking!
Expert genealogy and history talks
There’s a great line-up of guest speakers at this year’s fair, and it’s going to be very tempting to stay all day! These talks aren’t free, but are usually well worth their £2 fee:
- 10:30 – Robert Parker: Our Ancestors 1939-1945
- 12 noon – Mike Petty: Reflections on Eight Decades researching Cambridge
- 13:30 – Myko Clelland: Making the most of FindMyPast
- 15:00 – Gill Blanchard: Behind the scenes of Who Do You Think You Are?
I’ll be making my shopping wish list up in the next few weeks, so that I can peruse the trade and society stands without accidentally buying duplicates (like i have done with a few certificates lately, oops!).
As the fair gets ever closer, check out the Cambridgeshire Family History Society website for the latest info.
History Repeating 
That sounds like a lively day with good speakers and hopefully a range of new resources for the county. Just one question, surely CFHS is the FHS for Cornwall 😉
