Hi, and well done on completing section two of tracing your ancestors in the UK for beginners. This has been very much a preparatory section of the course, but also a very important one. By talking to family, looking at old photographs and perhaps even finding a few birth or marriage certificate, you might have saved yourself from duplicating research later on. And also giving yourself some ideas of where to start your research and who you want to start it with. You will hopefully have your computer files and folders and pens and perhaps software, all set waiting, ready for your family history to unfold. The adventure is waiting for you.

If you have completed everything in the section to your best ability, then you are ready to start. Areas research. In the next section, I will be showing you how to start searching for some important documents using the internet. See you there
