Amazingly early in your research, perhaps with your census or BMD transcripts, you can already start to make the connections between people, places and events that will help you to build an understanding of your place and help others to understand and make use of what you have found. In this presentation, real examples will be used to explore the world of possibilities that exist when you begin to analyse your data and pursue those ‘ah-ha’ moments when new knowledge is unearthed. Topics such as population, occupations, migration, religion and many more provide endless opportunites for a voyage of discovery.

Most British and Irish pre-1841 census records have only statistical information. However, approximately 1400 returns have named individuals. The Early British and Irish Census Project (EBIC) brings all the information from those returns into one searchable, free-to-the-public database (ebc.byu.edu, will soon be ebic.byu.edu). The database covers the period before civil registration and the more comprehensive censuses. It helps researchers find early nineteenth-century and late eighteenth-century people who can be difficult to trace due to increased mobility and increased religious nonconformity.

Excire Photo 2024 is a new program that lets you automatically add keywords and your own custom ones; search for one or more images by free text, keyword(s), groups or individual people; identified faces; GPS locations; event; main colour in an image; by camera model, camera lens, lens focal length used, shutter speed used, and more. All of this metadata is written directly to your files or to XMP sidecar files, so the information stays with your images, not trapped in a proprietary database. This feature rich program is available for Windows and MacOS, even on M1 and later processor chips. Learn how this software can relieve you of much time and effort in organizing your digital images.

¿Qué buscamos las personas adoptadas cuando iniciamos una búsqueda de familia biológica?
Las personas adoptadas cuando iniciamos la búsqueda de familiares biológicos buscamos más que personas, en realidad buscamos recuperar nuestra identidad. Buscamos conectar de nuevo con la lengua de nuestros ancestros, aprender de la cultura que quedó en otros países, recuperar viejas tradiciones. Todo este viaje se puede realizar investigando registros históricos y aprendiendo de genealogistas
