Family History with Fiona Chesterton

In March 2024, Fiona Chesterton gave an absorbing talk on Bringing Family History to Life at Wolfson College.. She described how an unexpected inheritance prompted her research into family history., using not only traditional genealogical records but also a wide range of resources such as old photographs and and personal mementoes to develop her book Secrets Never To Be Told. She described its long road to the publication, including as an audiobook version. The event was very much enjoyed by the 30 or so people who attended, with many contributions to discussion following Fiona’s talk. All copies of the book Fiona brought with her were sold to an enthusiastic audience and she went away with further orders to fulfil!
