La plupart des généalogistes n’exploitent pas pleinement tous les indices disponibles dans les annuaires municipaux. Apprenez à aller au-delà d’une simple « recherche » de vos ancêtres et de leur famille. Comprenez comment les annuaires municipaux ont été créés, les secrets des différentes abréviations et comment utiliser l’approche F.A.N. Club pour obtenir le plus d’informations possible. Ce webinaire fait partie du séminaire de généalogie MyHeritage d’une journée, diffusé en direct depuis le siège de MyHeritage à Or Yehuda, en Israël.

Northumberland and Durham, in the extreme north-east corner of England, are often united when discussing family history. Our ancestors moved easily back and forth across the River Tyne, to live and work, connected by the City of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on the boundary. Discover the key resources and how to locate them in the various archives covering the two counties. Learn how to effectively use the catalogues and finding aids, see what is available online or what can only be accessed in archives or libraries. Also learn about what records are different and unique to these two counties and are really helpful in your research.

Patterns from the Past: Using Visuals to Showcase Correlation and Analysis
Wed, March 18 2026: 0:00 UTC
Visual enhancements can transform dense genealogical information into clear, accessible evidence. This session demonstrates how thoughtfully designed tables, diagrams, timelines, and maps can distill complex evidence and clarify analysis. Drawing on real-world examples from research reports, kinship determinations, and case studies, we’ll explore how visuals can emphasize evidence, reveal patterns, and show relationships that words alone might obscure. You’ll learn how to pair the right type of visual to your specific goal—whether demonstrating patterns, evaluating source reliability, or placing an ancestor in the right place at the right time. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for letting visuals do some of the analytical heavy-lifting in their next project.
