IHGS courses in October

Forthcoming courses from the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies (www.ihgs.ac.uk):

Parish and the Manor - 18th October 2014
There is much more to parish records than merely the registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. This course will introduce you to the many other records available and how they can not only help you to trace your family history but can also give an insight into the daily life of our ancestors.

Military Records - Army, RAF and Navy -11th October 2014
Most of us will have ancestors who served in the armed forces at some time. Military records can give invaluable insight not only into your ancestor's life whilst in the military but can also give essential genealogical information to help extend your family tree. The course will cover records from the 18th-21st centuries and will discuss both online and original sources.

The price for each course is £40.00 or £35.00 for IHGS Members and correspondence course students. Buffet lunch is included. Full details on the IHGS website.
