Local History

Professional Family History, Family Tree, Genealogy, House and Ancestry Research Service by Professional Genealogist UK and local history research in Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire, London and Middlesex.

Local History is an important part of family history and is also very interesting as its own subject. Many interesting aspects of history have shaped how areas have changed over time. Local History incorporates how the people who lived in an area changed over time and how the local people and the parish or village were an integral part of their lives. Occupations were a key part of the village and the local community and many variant occupations can be researched such as the Strawplatters of Hertfordshire. Key events in a village such as an outbreak of smallpox or the plague shaped how a village survived and local history can place people into this timeframe and work out what life was like at that time and how the disease affected specific families.

Areas of local history can include:

The Workhouse.
The Village.
The Manor House.
Nonconformists of the Village.
Strawplatters of Hertfordshire.
The Plague and its effect on Hertfordshire.
Hamells Manor House.
