‘Midland Ancestors’ advice surgery for family historians

Come and visit us in the Grade 2 listed building known as the BMI. We are an affiliate library of FamilySearch and therefore can access more data sets than you can view from home. Take advantage spending 90 minutes with an experienced family historian, accessing all our data records covering census returns, births, marriages and burials, maps, trade directories and loads more with unique records not available on the web.  

There is access to a tearoom and toilets via a lift or stairs. This event is unsuitable for small children

How to get there:
We are Birmingham city centre based with plenty of choices in public transport via buses, trams and trains. We are a short walk from both Snow Hill and Grand Central (New Street) railway station. There is limited on street parking payable via the RingGo app.

Organised by Midland Ancestors (formerly known as Birmingham and Midland Society for Genealogy and Heraldry).
