Putting Flesh on the Bones - A Family History Activity Day
Sunday 9 October 2011

Have you found the names and dates for your family tree? Now do you want to put some ‘flesh on the bones'?
Join us in the Hawley Gallery for a day investigating who your ancestors really were and, if they were Sheffielders, finding out more about their trades.
• Members of the Sheffield and District Family History Society will be on hand to help you discover your ancestors online and advise you on how to find out more
• CDs, maps and booklets to use in researching your local roots and recording and displaying your findings
• Talks for beginners young and old on how to start your family history research
• Hands-on activities about Sheffield trades and occupations from the past - try your hand at buffing, grinding, file cutting, measure making
• Discover whether you would make a good Little Mester
• Trade Trails around the Museum
• Costumed characters
Normal museum admission applies.
