Family History Research with Volunteer Sue
Thank you to Sue for volunteering to come and talk to our residents about family history. Sue organises regular family history discussions and uses an online genealogy website to research residents’ family trees.
Sue spent the morning showing her own family heirlooms that dated back to the 1800s. One of her ancestors was apprenticed to Robert Stephenson as a “locomotive engine builder” – Robert was a relative of the famous George Stephenson. She also showed us his commemorative mug which included a frog on the inside!
Muriel said, “I found the morning very interesting, and I’d like to learn more about my own family history”.
