NEW!
2014, as the centenary year of WWI, will see the show commemorate our ancestors in the military and the social history of the time. For the first time ever, the Imperial War Museum will be exhibiting alongside a number of organisations with military and social history archives.

INFORMATIVE
The popular Society of Genealogists' workshop programme will allow visitors to listen to a series of experts offering detailed and concise help in all aspects of tracing family trees, in terms of best practise and information available. They also offer one-to-one sessions, making the Who Do You Think You Are? Live experience accessible, interactive and enlightening for people of all ages.
