Events at the Society of Genealogists
To celebrate Women's History Month the Society of Genealogists (SoG) is holding a talk on Saturday 12 March, 10.30AM
Mummy, what did you do in the Great War? My Ancestor was a Woman at War
Join Emma Jolly at the SoG to find out more about the jobs women did in the First World War. In this talk, Emma explores the range of women’s roles and where to look for the surviving records (including online sources), which family historians can use to explore the lives of their ancestors and others.
Emma covers women who worked:
- in the auxiliary services
- in medical organisations and transport
- in police forces
- on the land
- in voluntary organisations
As Emma intends to open the talk up for discussion, please bring your own stories along.
A one-hour talk with Emma Jolly, cost £10.00/£6.50 SoG members.
