| Plaque in Hazeldene Road - find out about YOUR family history |
"Harlesden Routes is a free family history programme (LINK) which will run between January to March 2013, to support local people in taking the first steps in learning and researching their family history. We are looking for committed individuals who live, work and/or have strong family connections with Harlesden.
Participants must be willing to develop a case-study based on interviews, and or research of an aspect of their family history, which can be shared with others locally.
"Harlesden is a culturally-diverse area with many untold stories and experiences of local history and migration, which makes the area a positive and inclusive place to live and work. Every Generation mission is to promote the oral and family heritage of the lives and history of local communities.
"The Harlesden Routes Course will start on 6 February, with all activities taking place on a Wednesday evening at the Unity Centre (LINK). In addition, there also be a trip to Brent Museum & Archives, and the ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ family history exhibition at Olympia.
"The session will cover different aspects of family history using local records and online archives, using photographs, social history, creative writing, interviewing techniques and the importance of DNA.
"Harlesden Routes is a partnership which involves Every Generation, Catalyst Gateway, and Brent Museum and Archives. The projected is funded by Harlesden Community First and LIFT.
