STARCROSS HISTORY SOCIETY [SCHS] ZOOM MEETING [free]
Wednesday: 20th January, 7.30-9.00 p.m.
Topic: Who Do You Think You Are? Family History Night
Speaker: Sue Bond, Devon Family History Society
Who do you think you are? Central to your identity and sense of belonging are the stories, narratives, memories and recollections that make up your personal history and that of your family. As a family historian through questioning and investigation you can discover and learn about your ancestors and their lives, often exciting, mysterious and fascinating. You can deepen, widen and extend knowledge of your family’s history to bring to life the roots and branches of your family tree.
The Devon Family History Society [DFHS] helps you to become a family historian from the most tentative of starts. Whether you’re just starting out in family history or you’ve hit a brick wall and don’t know how to break through it, the DFHS will support you at every point in your enquiry. The DFHS empowers you to investigate as history detectives all aspects of your family history wherever you live and whatever your personal circumstances.
Sue’s talk will introduce you to the delights and pleasure of being your own family historian.
Most kindly, Sue has said she is happy for people to send her questions beforehand as long as you say it is for the 20th January presentation. Please send your queries to: research@devonfhs.org.uk

The meeting When you reply accepting the invitation to join the ZOOM meeting from 7.15 we will let you into it: the talk starts at 7.30 p.m.
When the meeting begins please mute your microphones and switch off your videos.
This means we can all hear the speaker and see the full screen. Unmuted microphones result in a cacophony of noise that means the presentation is inaudible.
After the presentation the speaker will be happy to answer questions and discuss points you raise. To do this, please use the ZOOM raised hand icon to speak.
Unmuting microphones If selected, we can then unmute your microphone for you to ask questions and take part in the discussion
You can also type questions for the speaker into the Chat Box
Any problems – please email heirnet@gmail.com
