FAMILY historians hoping to trace their roots are invited to three new courses to start next month.

Family History for Beginners goes through the first stages of using sources such as the census and GRO Index to find out where ancestors come from. It starts on Tuesday, September 13, at 9.30am.
Family History Next Steps gets under way at 12.30pm the same day and is aimed at those who already have the basics but are looking for extra tips.
Family History and the Internet, suitable for beginners and those with more experience will explain how to obtain information from birth and marriage certificates.
It also explains where to get information about Scottish and Irish ancestors and where to search census returns. It starts at 9.30am on Wednesday, September 14.
Courses are led by Anne Hinchliffe and run for ten weeks at a cost of £29, concessions are available.
Places should be booked in advance at Clayport Library, Durham City, on 0191-386 4003.
