Auckland Family History Expo 2024
IHGS is delighted to be sponsoring the 10th Anniversary event.
The Keynote speaker is IHGS specialist DNA Tutor Sophie Kay
Keynote: Time Team: When archaeology met family history with Dr Sophie Kay It’s now thirty years since Time Team first brought the wonderful world of archaeology to UK screens and beyond, with their celebrated approach of having ‘only three days’ to explore each dig location reaching millions of viewers around the world.
2023 marked a new milestone for the programme, when Time Team introduced family history research to investigate the historical narratives of the people and communities associated with the dig location. Armed with images and insights from the programme, Time Team’s ‘Ancestry and Genealogy Expert’, Dr Sophie Kay, will take attendees behind the scenes of the show, providing a sneak peek into what happens when the worlds of family history and archaeology collide!
