This years’ Family History Fair will be in Newcastle again on Saturday 07th September, 10-4pm at the Central Premier Inn, (see the above link for directions).
If you are from the region and are interested in or are already engaged in researching your family history, this is a great opportunity for just a £3 entry fee to meet the experts all in one place. I went last year and found it useful, (although only because I discovered that my so-far fruitless search for many family records was because they no longer exist)!
I hope you have better luck than me!
