Tall Tales, Secrets and Ordinary Lives

Reading Branch of Berkshire Family History Society are meeting at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, The Meadway, Tilehurst on Thurs 30th November at 7.45pm (doors open at 7.15pm). Our subject that evening will be a presentation entitled 'Tall Tales, Secrets and Ordinary Lives' by Sue Ellis.

Family History is one of the fastest growing hobbies, and extremely popular. This talk takes a light look at some of the minutiae in family history – including the ordinary lives of local WW1 soldiers discovered during research into the names on a selection of local war memorials; the secrets disclosed by the census, and by Wills; and the tall tales told in every family, which sometimes turn out to be based on truth.

This talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society and we request a donation of £5 from non-members.
