Ten years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. During my treatment I received a great deal of advice, emotional support and practical assistance from MacMillan Cancer Support.

Now, as a long term cancer survivor, I am one of MacMillan's Cancer Voices. I give media interviews to promote MacMillan's work and to raise awareness of cancer and survivorship issues. I also give talks in return for donations to MacMillan. 

I already have four talks in my diary for next year: 

  • 7 January 2014. 10am. Town Hall, Chipping Sodbury. Frome Valley Probus Club. Genealogy for Beginners.
  • 17 January 2014. 10:30am. The Chantry, Thornbury. Thornbury U3A Family History Group. Tracing Merchant Seamen.
  • 14 March 2014. 7:30pm. Masonic Hall, Chipping Sodbury. Sodbury & District Historical Society. Cutty Sark & her Crews.
  • 10 September 2014. 7:30pm. Shire Way Community Centre, Yate. Sodbury Vale Family History Group. Of This Parish: Using Manorial and Parochial records to trace Ag Lab ancestors.

I am always happy to give talks within a reasonable travelling distance of my home in Chipping Sodbury. In addition to the subjects listed above, I offer:

  • Googling for Grandma: Using Google for Family History Research
  • Lost in London: Breaking down brick walls in London research
  • Descendants of Cutty Sark: Tracing Living People
  • Using Family Tree Maker
  • How to Build a Genealogy Website
  • Researching the History of your House

You can read some reviews of my talks here. If you would like me to give a talk to your group, club or society, please contact me.
