Interested in finding out more about your ancestors? Two sessions at Milton Keynes Central Library could help residents shine some light on their family past.

These consultation events are held by the family history department at the Library, with the assistance of genealogy expert John Hanson. The department has access to a huge range of historical resources and information, including records from across the country as well as detailed history for the Buckinghamshire area.

The sessions will take place on Thursday 25 August and Thursday 22 September, running from 4.15pm to 7.30pm. They are free, but must be booked by calling 01908 254160 or emailing the Library’s Family History Department on mklocal@milton-keynes.gov.uk.
