Ever wondered about how to start researching your family history? Then come along and have a taster session to get some hints and tips and to have a look at the Ancestry and Find My Past Library editions at Eccles Library. This will be a relaxed and informal session, although we do ask that you have some computer experience using a mouse and keyboard.
We will have some staff on hand to talk you through Ancestry Library edition, how to search, and offer some hints and tips for researching your family tree. We'll also look at other resources you can use in Salford Libraries to delve deeper into your families past.
