Real-life case study: Tracking down an ancestor who had disappeared without a trace
Christine Jolliffe will be speaking on ‘Finding George’ at Family Tree Live
Introducing Christine Jolliffe’s talk:
You’ve traced your ancestor through censuses, but they disappear. You can’t find a death certificate. They seem to have disappeared without a trace. This is exactly what happened to Christine Jolliffe. In her presentation she’ll cover the steps she took to solve her family mystery.
This talk is about Christine Jolliffe’s 2x great grandfather and his journey, from being a labourer in a small village in Berkshire, to life in a penal colony in Tasmania.
In her presentation Christine Jolliffe will look at how crimes were reported and the clues she gleaned from indent papers, muster rolls, probation records and pardons.
This talk is for you if you enjoy learning from real-life case studies, gleaning tips and insights from a fellow family history researcher.
Suitable for many levels of family history researcher.
