Simon is looking at the mindset of our
ancestors, how it differs from ours and how

He will also look at the basics of how and
where to find them if they exist.

Many written genealogies, even family histories, whilst giving
many details of a particular family, sometimes stretching back
over several generations, restrict their texts to family
members alone. It was if that family lived all their lives in
sterilised rooms, with tiled walls washed down with
disinfectant, without ever associating with anyone else in the
community. No wonder such family histories do not appeal to
the younger generation. In this lecture Dr Colin R Chapman
offers suggestions on compiling a vibrant family history
incorporating individuals whom your ancestors are likely to
have met, demonstrating that “they didn’t live in a vacuum”.
