Our Principal Dr Richard Baker attended the AGRA (Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives) conference this weekend at St John's College, Cambridge, entitled "Demolishing Brick Walls". A thoroughly enjoyable event, covering diverse aspects of genealogy, his favourite talk was by John Titford, which was called "Barking up the wrong tree". It exposed the dangers of researching the wrong family tree, a trap that many family historians can fall into.
Other highlights included Rebecca Probert's "The rise and fall of the crime of Bigamy" and Debbie Kennett's "DNA demystified". We all look forward to the next AGRA conference.
