The Family History Show, York

This is the largest family history show in England. With both local and national exhibitors attending our event. Many family history societies, archives and companies attend each year and there is lots of history from the local area too.

Attendee Feedback:

"I just wanted to thank you for the event! I had a really positive and fruitful appointment with one of the Experts, which I believe has enabled me to break down a longstanding brickwall."

"Well worth coming to! It enhances what you can do."

"I didn't realize some of the things that we were missing it's given us a better outlook on which way we've got to go now it's been a little bit of an eye-opener."
