Description
“Images, Place, Time and Objects” leads the beginning family historian through the process of locating their ancestors in time and place. In doing so they learn how to use and interpret old maps, identify, date, conserve and preserve old photographs and artefacts handed down to them through generations.
While it is created as an accompaniment to the “Family History; A Different Focus Workshops’, the workbook stands alone as an invaluable guide to the how, when, where, what and why of Family History for the beginner.
