Roman Catholic Records for Family History Research
Judith worked as a local government archivist for 30 years, including 20 years in North Yorkshire. As a Catholic herself she has a natural interest in the records of the English Catholic community and spoke about which are useful for family history, how to find and get access to them, including publications and organisations which provide help and information.
