PLACES are still available on a series of family history courses.
Experts from Durham County Council’s record office are offering to show people how to use their archives and resources to trace their family tree.
Beginners courses will be held on October 6, 13, and 20 from 6pm to 8pm and October 9, 16 and 23 from 10am to noon.
Next Steps courses for more advanced history detectives will be held on November 13, 20 and 27 from 10am to noon and November 6, 13 and 20 from 6pm to 8pm.
Each course costs £25 per person.
Dawn Layland, an education and outreach archivist at the council, said: “Following the popularity of our beginners’ courses we have had lots of people wanting to come back for more so we are delighted that we are now able to offer Next Steps as an additional resource.”
The record office is at County Hall, Durham.
Places must be booked in advance by calling 03000-267-626 or emailing: record.office@durham.gov.uk.
