The information left by our ancestors is all-too-frequently misleading\, inaccurate or just plain wrong! As we become more experienced we find that they had any number of reasons to be economical with the truth. \nOf course\, sometimes our ancestors simply didn’t know the answer to the questions thrown at them by the clerks\, registrars and enumerators. Using real examples\, this talk will look at some of the reasons why our ancestors might have lied and offer suggestions on how to recognise their varying degrees of ignorance\, half-truths and wilful deception \n  URL:https://staging.sheffieldfhs.org.uk/event/14193/ LOCATION:By Zoom – Please contact Carole Eales our secretary for the log on details ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://staging.sheffieldfhs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_20190323_133719-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20241118T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241118T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T184007 CREATED:20240808T104753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240808T104753Z UID:13897-1731938400-1731945600@staging.sheffieldfhs.org.uk SUMMARY:Sheffield Quiz DESCRIPTION:Think you know Sheffield?
