About this webinar
Yorkshire is the largest county in England and was historically divided into three Ridings: West, North and East. Today there are four sub-counties in Yorkshire. The webinar will explain the complexities of parish jurisdictions and county boundary changes to assist in locating the relevant archives, and societies, for researching records and documents. The varied landscape will be explored to provide a background to the main industries which influenced migration in and around Yorkshire.

A great deal of Yorkshire geopolitical organization was clarified.
Wonderful information! We visited Yorkshire in 2019 and it was one of my favorite places to visit. My great great grandmother came from Yorkshire. Thank you again!
Excellent - enthusiastic clear speaker with a great knowledge of the subject and good sequence of subjects and explanations
Excellent presentation and very informative.
The enthusiasm of the presenter was awesome. Clearly passionate about her ancestry, her presentation was informative and enjoyable.
Plenty of new resources to investigate the Yorkshire ancestors. Jude spoke clearly and logically and put over a lot of information without fuss.
great info on potential gotchas to watch for and link to sources
One of the best webinars! Jude's explanations about records - particularly why and where - including the jurisdiction structures - was very helpful. The background info - maps, religions, occupations, economy - is really necessary. Thanks too for the specific website links, particularly the lesser-known repositories.
