Really Useful Podcast

The Family History Federation has just launched 'The Really Useful Podcast', a new series of Family History podcasts set to cover a range of topics and feature expert guests. 

Episode 1 is now live and focuses on Occupations.  The website  describes it -
"In this episode of the Really Useful Podcast, Joe Saunders is joined by Mish Holman, professional genealogist who is particularly interested in theatre ancestors and census enumerators, Mike Esbester, academic historian and co-lead on the Railway Work Life and Death Project and Judith Batchelor, professional genealogist, writer and tutor at IHGS.

Work affected our ancestors and shaped their fortunes. Occupational records can be used to research your family history and give a fuller picture of their lives. Among other things our speakers touch upon the need to think about women’s work, what drew people to certain occupations and offer some top tips for researching."
