She will discuss their various moves in England, their lives in their home-towns in England, and the reasons why chose the places to live that they did.
There is a 10 minute interview with Gillian by Brooke Broadbent on www.bifhsgo.ca/cpage.php?pt=59 in which she explains how she discovered the reasons why her family emigrated from England to Canada in the late/early 19th and 20th centuries, and then back to England again.
She says that being a professional historian, she always “spreads a wide net” so that she catches all of the reasons (both economic and political), as to why a family may emigrate.
There meetings are FREE, and open to everyone to come and enjoy family history.
