Hello all, BBC Radio York are hosting the Family History event at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall, York, this coming Sunday, 12th February, from 11am to 3pm, where many local archives, libraries, groups and societies will be represented. Brenda Green and I will be there, with a display of some of our Yorkshire Ancestors material; also represented will be the City of York & District Family History Society, The Ryedale Family History Group, York City Library, York Archives, the Borthwick Institute, the North Yorkshire County Record Office, and others. Radio York will be broadcasting live from this event, so you may get to hear some of us, if you can't be there. Tune in at www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire. The County Record Office for North Yorkshire, together with BBC Radio York are holding a family history surgery on Wednesday evening, 15th February 2006, between 5pm and 8.30pm. Experts will be on hand to answer your family history questions and BBC Radio York will be recording family history stories. Please come along and see what it's about. Nobody will be under any pressure to talk to the BBC, but if you do have an interesting story and would like to share it with the world, here is your opportunity. I don't think there will be any live broadcasting here, but they do hope to record a few stories. Please contact Vicky, the archivist at Northallerton, on [email protected] if you would like to be part of this event, or if you would just like to come and see what is going on - please don't just turn up, as this has to be done on a bookings basis, as they will need to know how many people to expect. Vicky has asked me to tell you all about it and she is waiting to hear from you!!! The BBC are doing this to promote their "Who Do You Think You Are?" series, currently showing on BBC 2 on Wednesday evenings in the UK - sorry for our overseas listers, but you will have the opportunity to see them all soon, I am sure.
