A SIX-WEEK course for people beginning to trace their family history has started at a library in Harrow this week.

Topics covered will include how to start searching through civil registration, census returns, parish registers, wills and probate and surnames.

The course will be held at the Civic Centre Reference Library, in Station Road, Harrow.

Harrow's Library service has teamed up with Family History Detectives and Find My Past by providing free access to computers and library online resources.

The course is running today for the next six weeks.
