From the comfort of your home (outside the UK), trying to uncover your roots (whether in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales) can be an extremely challenging task. However, it is far from impossible with a plethora of information available online from books to databases, transcriptions to images, photographs and other (numerous) online sources. This webinar will provide individual case studies to highlight what is available online and offline, hands-on tips and details of how offline material might be accessed from afar.

3rd grand father was from Devon UK, At last we may be able to go further with the information received today in this webinar. Thanks a lot.
A bit late, but will pick up the beginning on video. I learned so much today! When I was trying to find folks “across the pond” it was a real challenge. So much more now and Kirsty gives such clear hints and suggestions for accessing things that I think I can now start to connect at least some of my English people (the later ones) with their origins in England and Wales, and esp (be still, my heart) my beloved Cornishman great-grandfather.
A wealth of information!
Always good to listen to Kirsty providing worthwhile sources.

have many ancestors for the UK Always learn something new from her webinars
I always learn something new from Kirsty, she’s an excellent speaker.
I LIKED IT.
I always say “one question answered means two or three more question!” In this case, more pleasurable research findings!!
I enjoy Kirsty’s webinars. She is easy to follow and has great tips.
I have been doing research in Scotland and Ireland for awhile and I enjoyed the detailed records that come from there. Thanks for your time in showing other places to look for information.
I have English ancestors and working Irish ancestors for a client…great information…am anxious to check out some of the websites Kirsty gave us. Have her back again!!!
I have Scottish ancestry and was Thrilled to learn about the Scotland’s People website!! AND to learn that Scotland has Excellent birth, marriage, and death records. Thank you!!
I learned a few more sources or information to be found on the sources I’ve already looked at.
I received some excellent new sources to use in my research of my UK ancestors. Thank you
I’ll need to view this again to pick up on the things I missed on the first pass. So much useful information. Thanks Kirsty.
Informative, inspiring webinar. Thanks!
Inspirational for sure!
interesting
Interesting webinar. Thanks. Happy Holidays to all…
Kirsty covered a lot of resources in a short period. I leared so much . . . can’t wait to visit some of these sites. Thanks for another excellent webinar!
Kirsty Gray shared so much of her knowledge on Tracing Your UK Ancestry. I learned a lot about searching on Find My Past. I started out with FMP many years ago because my mother and most of her ancestors were born in England. I had no idea what I was doing, so I gave up and started working more on my paternal side. Now I know more about how to search UK records, I will go back to my maternal ancestors and try to fill in the many blanks. Thank you.
Kirsty is a fabulous presenter. She provided so many avenues for research in such a short time! Thank you!
Kirsty is certainly fun to listen to and gave a lot of good information. I will definitely watch her prior webinars and encourage you to have her present new ones soon. One interest I have is records of the 1709 “Poor Palatines” who came to England looking for transport to the English colonies. My family arrived in May 1709 and left in January 1710. I’d like to find some records of their time in London and names of ships on which they sailed to what later became North Carolina.
Kirsty obviously knows her way around UK genealogy. Would be interested in something before civil registration, possibly dealing with ‘brick walls’ i.e., apparent dead ends. Some ways to tackle them.
Kirsty was terrific gave me some wonderful ideas as to how to possibly find my 3x great grandfather.
Learned about new sites and was especially interested in the information regarding Irish research. Very informative. Will subscribe to the blog.
Learned som new web sites:)
Loads of info, loads of notes. Hopefully I will be able to finally find my great-parents in England. So far, all I have is their names. Thanks so much. 🙂
Lots of good information to get me started in my English research!
lots of helpful info
Lots of info, thankful for the syllabus! One I will probably have to listen to again.
Lots of new leads for research.
Loved the presentation, Kirsty’s enthusiasm and her breadth of knowledge.
Loved this webinar. Probably my favorite one so far
maybe a future webinar on early records sources late 1700’s- 1850’s?
my ancestors all left UK prior to most of today’s discussion. Hopefully will be able to utilize some of this information
My brick wall —My 7th great-grandfather is picked up in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution War. One source states he was born in Wales in 1754, so I am excited to look into the records from Wales. Thanks for sharing this information!
Nice.
Oh, boy, lots more places to search in a meaningful manner.
One of the best webinars this year!
One of the best! Thanks to Kirsty for her enthusiastic, generous, and information filled webinar. I learned so much and am enthused to return to searches for UK ancestors.
Really enjoyed Kirsty’s expressed heart for helping in genealogy.
Really terrific information Kirsty. Had run out of places to look except for going to Scotland , Wales and England. Hopefully can dig up more details on places. Thanks!
She did a fine job. Thanks for this opportunity 🙂
So thorough and well done. A lot of useful information. People were finding things as the webinar was going on from what the presenter was presenting.
So very interesting. My ex-husband was born in England as was his mom. She married his father during war. Can’t wait to find more information and supply her death certificate so that we can see her information. Thanks!!!!
Some great new info. Would be interested in some more in-depth webinars on specific counties/areas – e.g., Cornwall, Lancashire, West Midlands, etc.
Speaker was very good.
Such a pleasure to listen to and very knowledgeable.
Such great information. Thank you!
Teriffic information on a topic I needed. Is she available to do a more in-depth webinar on Scottish genealogy sources?
