Widening Horizons Webinar Series by the Guild of One-Name Studies
*** this webinar series will launch at 8.00pm [London, UK time] on Wednesday October 7th ***
In place of the planned virtual seminar at Solihull being run jointly by the Guild and the Local Population Studies Society this will now be a series of weekly ‘tools and techniques’ webinars and features six speakers looking at ways of collecting, analysing and interpreting data collected in the process of one-name or one-place studies, family history or local population analysis. The data is based mainly on UK records, but records from other countries are cited where appropriate. It will be possible to submit questions for speakers to respond to following each presentation.
The Guild will launch all of these presentations at 8.00pm [London, UK, time] on 6 consecutive Wednesdays starting on October 7th. You may watch them at any time over the following 14 days (at which time they will be only available to Guild members on the website).
You will need to register to take part in each webinar. Please go to the seminar webpage - https://one-name.org/seminar-events/ and click on the event you wish to attend to register
