Our very own Chris Broom presented our first online talk on "Humour in Genealogy" — in the nature of an experiment in these unusual times.
Chris took us through some remarkable records of baptisms, marriages, deaths and even censuses — as well as Wills, diaries, newspapers and Court records — that he has encountered during his researches. They show how humour, whether unintentional or deliberate, can pop up anywhere, despite registration and legal papers being a supposedly serious business.
