After the huge success of Who Do You Think You Are? LIVE earlier this year, the show next year will be bigger and better and will take place in the stunning
Grand Hall at Olympia from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th May 2008
(open 10-6 except Sunday 10-5).
The Society of Genealogists Family History Show will take place for the 16th consecutive year and will feature more family history societies and organisations than ever before. Plus the event will see an increase in the number of dedicated family history exhibitors. The SoG workshop programme will continue to provide the most comprehensive level of family history expertise than is available anywhere else in the UK featuring speakers including Else Churchill, Geoff Swinfield, Mike Gandy and John Hanson.
Experienced family historians and beginners alike will find a range of workshops or lectures covering record sources, techniques and tips to take it further. Local experts from the regional family history societies can tell you what’s available in their area and of course there are oodles of opportunities to indulge your hobby with some retail therapy at the bookstalls; genealogical and archive suppliers, picture postcard sellers and CD sellers. In addition to all this, the show will give you access to more military records than is available anywhere else.
Plus you can expect to see more celebrities who have appeared on the TV programme sharing their experiences as well as hear TV personalities such as Time Team presenter Tony Robinson and military historians Dan and Peter Snow as they bring to life some on the influential battles of the 20th Century in the amazing new ‘Battle Theatre’.
