Are you a new starter to family history or a seasoned expert that has got stuck with a tricky name? Find out more about how to research your family history with Lancashire Archives and Local History.

Come along to find out more about what is available and how to use them, whether you want to discover your family tree, the history of a building or a place the friendly staff from Lancashire Archives will show you how to get started.
