Family history events this year

To celebrate 2017 being the year of history, heritage and archaeology, the West Lothian Family History Society volunteers are running workshops throughout West Lothian libraries.

These workshops are free and open to anyone. Participants will be shown the best websites to use and how to use these websites effectively, hopefully enabling them to go on and confidently use these resources independently. They are also available to assist confident researchers who find themselves ‘stuck’ with their research.

These workshops will be running throughout the year and will be held at Blackburn Connected on Saturday, July 8, from 10am to 12.30pm; East Calder Library on Saturday, August 5, from 10am to 12.30pm; Whitburn Library on Saturday , September 9, from 10am to 12.30pm; Fauldhouse Library, Saturday, October 7, from 10am to 12.30pm and Broxburn Library on Saturday, November 18, from 10am to 12.30pm.

Booking is essential. Please contact The West Lothian Local History Library on 01506 282491.
