Family History Surgery

Spend an hour with a trained genealogist

About

Do you need help with your family history?

Would you like some help about how to get started? Or have you been doing your own family history research and got stuck?

We are pleased to offer one-hour sessions on site at Dorset History Centre on Friday afternoons with a trained genealogist to offer some support and guidance about your next steps.

The sessions are available to be booked by contacting us on 01305 250550, or [email protected]

If you would like more information, please get in touch.

To help us meet costs, these sessions are offered for £5, with the money going as a donation to Dorset Archives Trust. If you would like to donate more, it is greatly appreciated and helps support our work.
