Genealogical experts from the Library will be attending the highly successful Who Do You Think You Are? – LIVE! show in Olympia, London, 22-24 February.
This will be the seventh consecutive year that the Library has attended, to what has become great showcase of our work and 
collections. The Library is considered as the premier source for all Welsh genealogical research, and we hope that the visitors to this weekend’s event will visit the Library’s stand to take advantage of our presence to discuss their Welsh ancestry with the experts attending, under the banner of the Welsh Help Desk (Stand 336).
The Library’s unparalleled resources include parish registers, probate records, nonconformist chapel records, estate papers, maps, photographs, drawings, paintings, pedigree books, Great Sessions Records, local history books, journals, newspapers, census etc.., and especially for this event, we will have access to several indexes which are not currently available on our online website.
At this year’s event, Beryl Evans, the Library’s Research Services Manager, will be holding two workshops. The first, Welsh Newspapers Online, will be held on Saturday 23 February at 12.00pm, and will showcase the new and exciting online development of digitising Welsh newspapers pre 1910. This will undoubtedly be of great interest to everyone interested in Welsh history and research. This is your opportunity to be among the first to hear about this latest development in the Library’s free on-line resources. On Sunday, 24 February, 3.40pm, Beryl will be discussing Discovering Your Welsh Roots – a beginners guide. Seats to both events are limited, so pre-booking is essential!
Guests visiting our stand over the weekend will include Huw Stephens, Radio 1 and BBC Radio Cymru presenter – so come along to meet Huw!
