'Lost in London', a sources talk by David Annal
David gave us a very useful talk about how to approach the challenge of finding information on relatives within London. From the basic point of checking what would constitute London at the time our relatives might have been living in the area ( the boundaries have grown extensively over the past two centuries), we were provided with numerous possibilities through the web sites, maps, books and other research material that is available.
As so often with research the key is knowing where to find the wealth of information that is out there, and this talk went a long way to providing answers to that issue. From the reaction of those present, and the questions that followed the talk, it was clear our speaker was much appreciated.
