A History of Parliament OnlinePresenter: Patrice Connelly This website is a key genealogy resource for anyone with a member of any UK parliament in their family history. Patrice Connelly will begin by outlining the history of parliament and suffrage. She will then introduce this very user-friendly website and show you in detail how it works and how to search. The earliest date you can search on is 1386, so there is plenty of scope for research and thousands of names and pictures. And if your ancestor was a humble labourer, you may be able to research their employer if he was a parliamentarian. Don’t miss this comprehensive and interesting talk on a genealogy goldmine. |
