On Monday 8 December there will be a Bristol Group meeting and talk entitled "Coming Here: Records of Immigrants & Immigration to England C13-C20" by Janet Few.
This presentation looks at the background history to immigration into England over 700 years. General records of immigration are considered, as well as looking in more detail at the immigration of members of the Roma and Traveller Communities, those of the Jewish faith and Huguenots. Sources available to trace these groups will be discussed. Finally, the session looks at the impact of immigration on both the immigrants themselves and the communities where they settled.
Janet is an experienced and qualified family, social and community historian, speaker and author. She has a particular interest in women's history, the history of the marginalised and seventeenth century social history.
The talk is online and begins at 7.30pm and is available to members only (joining details sent by email).
