Tracking Your People Down: Family Reconstruction in Community Studies

This presentation was originally presented as part of the 2019 Society of One Place Studies annual seminar.

Researching the people of a community within the context of the place they live can provide a much deeper understanding of their lives and the part they played in their community. Using newspapers, poor law records and more, Kirsty Gray will show how individual’s lives can be documented through time from the highs and celebrations to the crashing low times and everything in between.
