Family History Talks, Seminars and Conferences

This is a list of genealogy and family events that I am involved with either as an attendee or a speaker and others that I think may be of relevance to those interested in family history or the Swalwell surname.

24th September 2022: Genealogical Society of Queensland. Life in Victorian Britain Seminar. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

On-line

The talk explores the rules of law and their enforcement in England during the reign of Queen Victoria. It is a case study of one family who left a strong imprint on the records of the courts of that era. The story revealed is of a family’s changing fortunes and a family structure comprising the good, the bad and the ugly of Victorian Society.
