Family history is a fascinating and rewarding pastime. And with many of us spending more time at home, there’s never been a better time to start tracing your family tree.

The Library provides free access to the major genealogy databases Ancestry and Findmypast. 

Ready to get started? We’re here to help.

Our community history team have put together some handy guides to help you research genealogy while at home.

Access the resources below to start researching today. We’ll regularly add new content to this page so stay tuned for more information on exploring genealogy!
