In September 2026 Pharos Tutors celebrates 21 years of providing online family history courses, guiding students on how to get the most from their research. As part of our celebrations we are holding a Webinar Week from 7th-11th September 2026, celebrating our tutors and our courses.
Talk description: Apprenticeship records
Apprenticeship was an important part of working life for many of our ancestors, leaving behind a wealth of records that can provide valuable clues for family historians. In this talk, discover how apprenticeship worked, explore the different types of apprenticeship that existed, and learn about the history and legislation that shaped the records they created. You'll be introduced to the key apprenticeship records that can help advance your research, with examples demonstrating the rich information they contain. A fascinating case study then brings the subject to life, showing how apprenticeship records proved essential in unravelling a family mystery, revealing that the truth was very different from first appearances.
