Do you have a sailor or submariner in your family tree? Do you want to find out more about him? A Hampshire Record Office event at Gosport Discovery Centre on Friday 3 February will reveal the many types of record which throw light on the careers of your naval ancestors: what they did, where they served, what life was like on board Royal Navy and Merchant Navy ships, and in submarines.
There will be a combination of talks and visits during the day on the records you can find and use at The National Archives, The Royal Navy Submarine Museum, The Royal Marines Museum and Gosport Discovery Centre.
In the afternoon, there will be a visit to The Royal Navy Submarine Museum (included in the cost for the day), and the Naval Special Collection at Gosport Discovery Centre will be available for browsing and research until 7pm. Booking required, contact Gosport Discovery Centre on 023 9252 3463 http://www3.hants.gov.uk/gdc/gdc-events-detail.htm?id=137137
