A virtual online version of this popular Family History Show takes place on Saturday 20 February 2021 from 10.00 until 16.30 UK time.

The RTFHS and many other family history societies and local and social history organisations will be there so we look forward to meeting you and hearing about your Romany, Traveller or Fairground family history.

Also on offer online from the organisers are live presentations on a variety of family history topics plus an “Ask the Experts” session.

Our photo is a postcard dating from about 1904 that shows Jennie Boswell’s fortune-telling booth on the sands at South Shore, Blackpool, Lancashire. She is the woman wearing the long white dress. We think the man standing to her right is her husband Tobias Boswell.
