PEOPLE wanting to trace their family history are being invited to attend an event next month.

Bolton Archives and Local Studies and Bolton Family History Society are holding a family history open day for beginners in the Bolton Archives and Local Studies searchroom in Bolton library.

The event, on Monday, February 9, will consist of two workshops: family history for beginners and family history sources on the internet.

Booking for the workshops is essential as places are limited.

Talks will be held in the lecture theatre on various aspects of family history.

Publications on family history will be on sale in the library.
