Many of us have some German ancestry in our family backgrounds. Knowing where to search and how to tackle the difficulties posed by names and language can be tricky.
In this free talk, librarian Eileen Dwane will share her wealth of experience in the area of German family history. Come along to learn some of her tips and tricks to help track down your ancestors.
Curated by a group of local volunteers ‘Voices from the Front: A Personal Account of the Great War’ explores the experiences of everyday soldiers as told through their own words. The Fusilier Museum recently digitised a number of wonderful First World War diaries containing the personal recollections of the soldier’s, as well as beautiful drawings and sketches. Volunteers from the local community spent time researching the men who wrote these diaries allowing their words to inspire the topics that make up this exhibition. What came through strongly were the challenges of day-to-day living: the food, the transport, the conditions and the camaraderie. Tough times are of course mentioned but the diaries tend to allude to, rather than discuss in detail, these more difficult experiences. Hence what this exhibition explores is the day-to-day life of a soldier during the years 1914 -1918.
