Family Research Courses.

The course will meet weekly on a Monday evening 7.00 - 9.00pm, commencing Monday
11th October 2010. If there are similar levels of interest as the 2008
& 2009 courses, then two courses will be run on alternate Mondays on a
fortnightly basis.
The course is aimed primarily at beginners to family history research and those wishing to learn how to use computers, to assist with their research.
