Looking at the records in our database

Welcome to another talk in our Explore! series, designed for beginners, intermediate researchers, and anyone curious about the unique resources available on our website.

In this session, we’ll delve into some of the treasures in our digital archive, including the Zion Letters from World War One, records from Manchester’s transport heritage, local war memorials, Catholic baptisms, and some of the smaller databases that have been added recently. These are unique records that put flesh on the bones of our ancestors records.

The talk will include navigating different datasets and finding the online document collection in the Member Area of the webiste.

Join us to discover how thousands of individual records can help build a much bigger picture of lives lived, lost, remembered, and recorded.

An important part of the Society's work is to educate researchers so that they may get the best out of their research through a regular programme of talks for beginners and quarterly meetings with speakers on topics relating to family history and local history within Greater Manchester. M&LFHS members benefit from free and/or priority access to these events.
