Who Do You Think You Are? Live - family history event

Now in its seventh year, Who Do You Think You Are? Live is the UK’s leading family history event offering genealogical experts, informative workshops, resources from libraries, museums and archives and all the major online resources as well as dozens of family history societies - all under one roof.

You‘ll be able to have your photographs dated and military memorabilia identified, attend some of the numerous workshops running all day, hear a celebrity from the television series talk about their personal search, discover your ancestral heritage using DNA, spend 20 minutes one-to-one time with an expert and have your heirlooms revealed by Eric Knowles.

The theme of this year’s show is Migration so you can expect workshops, companies, societies and experts exploring the subject. Has your research uncovered any ancestors from abroad or who left here for foreign shores?

The first celebrity confirmed to attend will be none other than Masterchef’s very own Gregg Wallace. Gregg’s episode focused on revealing the mystery and misfortune of his great grandfather. Appearing on Friday in the Celebrity Theatre, Gregg will provide more insight into his discoveries and the research process itself as well as sharing a bit of backstage gossip!

This event gives you unprecedented access to experts from all areas of genealogy giving you the opportunity to participate in the worlds’ largest family history show.

Exciting new features and other celebrities are planned for 2013 and will be revealed as we get nearer to the event.

Who Do You Think You Are? Live continues to bring together the best resources available for family historians everywhere.

Tickets are available via website or by phoning 0844 873 7330.
