How much traffic is the website getting? So far, the website has been viewed more than 130,000 times.

There's only 3 weeks to go before we launch into the third year of DNA Lectures at Back to Our Past . There are several changes to this year's event that make it different from previous years.

The new venue, the Serpentine Hall, is now entirely dedicated to genealogy. Previously we shared the hall with the Over 50's Show and the Coin & Stamp Fair, and while they will still be around, this year we have an entire hall devoted to genealogy. You can see the floorpan below. Fami...
