In September the Alde Valley Suffolk Family History Group will welcome back Helen Baggott to give them more stories from her collection of historic postcards.
Helen is an author, freelance editor and researcher from Dorset. She has published three collections of stories behind postcards sent over 100 years ago, the latest entitled 'Posted in the Past, Hands Across the Sea'. Helen has been recognised in national newspapers as "postcard detective" and "heirloom detective." Hands Across the Sea" tells the story of a solo traveller who went across Europe and Asia and includes the story of an Indian Prince who played cricket for England.
